Trapped by wires in crash

The driver of a car that slammed into a street light and rolled on its side was trapped in the vehicle late Sunday in Burnaby.

BC Hydro crews had to de-energize downed power lines before firefighters used the Jaws of Life to tear open the vehicle's roof and free the driver, CTV News reports.

The crash happened near Canada Way and Sperling Avenue.

The driver was conscious and speaking when he was loaded into an ambulance.
