Man still standing after slamming BMW into 2 light poles

HARRIS COUNTY, Texas – A man lost control of his car and slammed into two light poles in north Harris County Monday morning.

The Harris County Sheriff's Office said the man traveling westbound on Farm Market 1960 around 1:50 a.m. when he lost control of his BMW and struck a metal light pole on one corner of the intersection, then skidded into the next pole across the street.

According to deputies, the car hit the light pole so hard, it bent in half. Officers believe the man may have been ejected prior to the second pole, because he only suffered minor injuries. The driver was walking around when deputies arrived.

He was taken to the hospital in stable condition.

Deputies are following up at the hospital to determine if alcohol was a factor.
