TAMPA, Fla. - A single-vehicle crash closed part of W Sligh Avenue, near N Orleans Ave., for several hours Thursday as crews tried to figure out how to remove the mangled mess.

Photos from the scene in the Seminole Heights neighborhood show a gray sedan with front-end damage and what appears to be a power pole vertically puncturing the windshield on the passenger’s side.

Tampa Electric Company crews and Tampa police officers were on the scene.
