Young Driver Lucky To Escape With Sore Head

Posted by Gold FM on 02/12/2011

A young driver ended up being sent to Thames Hospital for observation when he hurt his head after he lost control of his car in wet slippery conditions.

He was travelling along Savage Road towards Moresby Ave at about midday today when his car left the road and crashed into a power pole as he crested the brow of a hill.

Power was out locally for a short period of time and the power pole may need to be replaced.
