JOHNSTON, R.I. (AP) — Police say a driver was critically hurt after he clipped a pole and crashed into as many as seven vehicles parked at a car dealership in Johnston.
Police say the car had been driving on U.S. Route 6A on Sunday morning when it left the road and struck a telephone pole. Police say the car then hit several parked cars in the parking lot of Grieco Honda.
The driver was taken to a hospital with multiple fractures. His name hasn’t been released. Police say the driver was the only occupant in the vehicle.
Authorities say the parked cars were totaled. Dealership leaders declined to comment.
Investigators are looking into the cause of the crash. They say speed appears to have contributed to the wreck.
