SOUTH YARMOUTH — Yarmouth Police responded to a serious vehicle crash on Old Main Street just after midnight Friday morning, sending one person to the hospital.
When officers arrived, they found a Ford Mustang with heavy front-end damage and the driver still inside.
Just prior to the crash, the vehicle had reportedly been spinning its tires and “fishtailing” as it accelerated at a high speed down Old Main Street.
The vehicle then struck a utility pole, shearing it from the base and approximately 12 feet off the ground.
The car came to rest in the front yard of a South Yarmouth residence.
Yarmouth Fire Department paramedics extricated and treated the driver for injuries before transporting him to Cape Cod Hospital with unknown injuries.
The 20-year-old operator was cited with reckless operation of a motor vehicle, speeding at a rate greater than reasonable, and a marked lanes violation.
