MIAMI (WSVN) - Rescue crews took an elderly man to the hospital after, police said, he crashed into a pole in Miami, causing live power lines to come down.

The single car crash caused the power lines to come down on Northeast Fourth Court. They have since been cut and are no longer obstructing the road.

Officials said the victim was transported to Jackson Memorial Hospital in unknown condition.

Police continue to investigate.
