Man learns casino losses not deductible
DAYTON, Ohio, March 15 (UPI) -- Police in Ohio said alcohol may have been involved in a "Dukes of Hazzard"-style crash that ended with a truck impaled nose-down on a pair of mailboxes.
Butler Township Sgt. Todd Stanley said the 2001 Ford Ranger struck a Montgomery County driveway embankment while traveling south on Peters Pike Sunday and became airborne, the Dayton (Ohio) Daily News reported Monday.
"They went airborne sort of like 'The Dukes of Hazzard,'" he said.
He said the truck, which lost its left tires during the crash, landed nose-down on a pair of metal mailbox posts.
"Those mailboxes held that truck up like it was nothing," Stanley said. "It was a horrific accident."
Stanley said the driver, a 24-year-old man, was thrown from the vehicle during the crash and was taken to Miami Valley hospital with a back injury and minor cuts and bruises. A 55-year-old man riding in the vehicle was also taken to the hospital with minor injuries.
"Alcohol may be a factor," Stanley said.
