The driver and a passenger got out of a Chevy Malibu on their own after it slammed into the pole outside the World Plaza Apartments on Prospect Avenue shortly before 7 p.m. Monday, June 5, city firefighters said.
Both were taken to Hackensack University Medical Center -- the passenger with a broken leg and the driver with other injuries, both not life-threatening, responders said.
The crash left wires strewn across the roadway.
PSE&G was summoned to replace the pole and restore power to those customers who lost it.
It was one of a series of incidents that city firefighters responded to on Monday.
An Acura RDX landed on its driver's side after it struck a building on Kinderkamack Road shortly before 2 p.m.
Three occupants were taken to HUMC, city firefighters said.
Then there was the Jeep that went airborne, landing on a sedan, in the parking lot of a construction company on South River Street early Monday.
