An 81-year-old Oxnard man was seriously injured Monday when his car struck a telephone pole in Oxnard, police said.
Fidel M. Solano was driving south on Vineyard Avenue near Stroube Street at about 8:52 a.m. when the car left the road for unknown reasons and smashed into a telephone pole, Officer Timothy
Lumas said. The crash, which sheared the pole off at the base, left Solano with massive internal injuries, including a punctured lung, Lumas said.
Solano was taken to St. John’s Regional Medical Center, where he was listed in critical condition, a nursing supervisor said.
Solano was not wearing a seat belt at the time of the crash, Lumas said.
