IPhone Scene Video of the Car Crash Near Hallam

It happened around 7:10 Saturday night at SW 42nd and West Hallam Road in Lancaster County.

Hallam Firefighter Bud Geistlinger said one person was taken to the hospital via StarCare Helicopter. He said that person was in critical and combative condition.

The crash involved just one vehicle and it hit a power pole.

Geistlinger said there is significant damage to the north side of the power pole, but the crash did not cause any wires to come down.

Firefighters said gas was leaking from the car, so they had to put foam in the gas tank to stop it.

Multiple rescue crews responded to the crash. The cause of the crash is under investigation and it is not known if alcohol was a factor.
