Police car ends up vertical

MIAMI, Dec. 13 (UPI) -- Miami Police said an investigation has been opened into how a police officer managed to drive his cruiser into a vertical position on a light pole.

Police said the officer, who was not injured, wound up with his vehicle in a vertical position alongside the light pole Tuesday morning and the car was tangled in wires attached to the pole, WSVN-TV, Miami, reported Tuesday.

Investigators said they are looking into the cause of the crash.

Resident Donovan French said he was able to take some pictures before the cruiser was removed.

"What I'm going to do with the footage is, I have to let the world know a police car has went up on the pole on my block," French said.
