Driver trapped after smashing into light pole
(CNS): Emergency services were called out last night to yet another major single-vehicle crash on local roads after a Blue BMW 335 collided with a light pole on Walkers Road in George Town and the driver was trapped in the wreck. The smash happened at around 9:30pm Thursday at the intersection of Melmac Avenue close to Vigaro Nursery. Police said the BMW was travelling north on Walkers Road when it left the road and hit the pole, causing severe damage to both the car and the pole.
The Cayman Islands Fire Service extracted the driver, who was the only person in the BMW. He was taken to the Cayman Islands Hospital by ambulance and is currently being treated for what appear to be serious but non-life-threatening injuries.
The police said the crash is currently under investigation.

Shocker. Another day another 12 accidents that could be avoided by proper traffic patrols and people driving the damn speed limit.
And darn these straight bits of road that jump out in front of unsuspecting motorists
It’s time to get rid of light poles…they are just too dangerous.
The problem is made worse because light poles don’t obey speed limits and ignore the police.
same with roundabouts
It’s those roving light poles that jump out at you that we really need to worry about.
