This accident happened on the night of Wednesday, April 18th, 2007 at about 10:30 p.m. at the intersection of Mt. Sidney and Horseshoe Roads in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. The last few weeks I had only been sleeping 4-5 hours a night for various reasons, so I was naturally quite tired. I was driving my 1995 Ford Taurus when I fell asleep briefly and crashed head-on into a traffic light pole. I was going about 50-55 mph. The impact of the car toppled the pole. Other then being a little sore for a few days afterward, I wasn't injured.
The intersection was replaced with a four-way stop sign until a replacement light was put up a few weeks later. The road that I was traveling on and the intersection where I crashed was a major one for students traveling to the high school I graduated from in 2006, Conestoga Valley HS, so the presence of the four-way stop sign was an inconvenience for them. Also, the next day, the pole was replaced in a field nearby in such a way that suggested a greater impact then what really happened. I found out that everyone at CVHS assumed it was a tractor trailer that had hit the pole based on the position of the pole. I've included a few pictures of the car at the junkyard, as well as a picture of the light pole the day after and what my car looked like before the accident. J. S.
