A 34-year-old man was injured Saturday morning (Nov. 19) after crashing his car into a utility pole at the juncture of Sentinel Hill Road, Academy Hill and David Humphreys Road.

James Rutowski of Milford lost control of his car at about 1:15 a.m. and drove off the road and into the pole, breaking it.

The vehicle rolled onto its side and landed on the utility pole’s guide wires.

Firefighters used the jaws of life to cut Rutowski out of the car.

He was taken to Yale-New Haven Hospital on a trauma alert. He had been released from the hospital as of Monday afternoon, a hospital spokesperson said.

No charges have been filed and the investigation is ongoing, according to Derby police.
