Pole smashes through van window and narrowly misses driver
A VAN driver had a narrow escape when a pole smashed through his window during a three vehicle collision.
Just before 1pm on Monday a Silver Corsa driven by a recently qualified young man collided with another car and a van on Ruscombe Road in Twyford.
The impact caused the van to flip and a pole to pierce it, missing the driver by inches.
"A six inch post came in through the driver side window. The driver was a very lucky boy," said Lee McDonald, delta crew manager of Wokingham Fire Station.
The fire fighters were at the scene for around 30 minutes.
There were no serious injuries.
