Wreck downs Sixth Avenue signals

Daily photo by Brennen Smith

Wires and traffic signals went down along with a utility pole during a wreck on Sixth Avenue Southeast at Seventh Street on Wednesday. Decatur police said the white pickup pictured was southbound about 3:40 p.m. on Sixth Avenue when it ran off the road, knocked down a pole in front of Express Oil Change and then crashed into and broke another pole at the intersection. The driver told officers he didn’t know what happened, police said. No other vehicles were involved, and no one was injured. The wreck caused traffic delays while utilities workers set up a temporary fix. The poles will be repaired or replaced today, police said.

If he don't know what happened, then he don't need a drivers license.

I'll bet you he was on the phone, dialing, or texting.

That's not fair to that man. If he was actually doing something wrong that's a different story, but it could have been a seizure or a medical condition that he wasn't aware of also. Just think before you judge.
