A Lincoln man is lucky to be alive after police say he crashed his car into a light pole near 27th and Randolph around 3:15 Saturday morning. The driver lost control, went off the road and struck the pole.
The car then rolled over several times before coming to a stop. When police arrived the driver was gone. Officers then found Elmer Lopez Castro walking in the area and he sustained only minor injuries.
He was booked for DUI, negligent driving, minor in possession of alcohol and operating a vehicle without a license.
