David Slaughter said he witnessed the incident as he was coming home from work.
“He hopped out of the vehicle with a boot on, like a surgical boot. He grabbed his crutches and went down the street,” said David Slaughter who witnessed the crash.
Slaughter said he's glad no one was hurt.
“Once he hit the pole, the hood flew three houses down. I'm glad no one was walking down this sidewalk here, because a lot of people walk down the sidewalk to take the bus,” Slaughter said.
Jones was charged with felonious assault. The victim was treated at the scene.
