Man crashes after swinging at bird in truck
LA PORTE - A man reportedly drove into a utility pole Monday after he discovered a bird flapping around inside his truck.The driver was leaving his residence on the 2900 south block of Holmesville Road around 7:30 a.m. when he saw the bird and began swatting at it. He told La Porte Sheriff's Deputy Slawek Czupryna the distraction caused him to drive into a NIPSCO utility pole. After the collision, the pole reportedly fell down on top of the man's truck.The driver said he left a window in the vehicle down the previous night, apparently allowing entry for the fowl. The man reported no injuries, though the front of his truck was damaged. There was no word on injuries sustained by the bird.
