A man driving with three children in the car crashed into a pole on Eastern Parkway and Dean Street this morning, critically injuring one of the kids. Police say that Anthony Pollydore was drunk when the crash occurred.
According to the Post, "Pollydore — who has previously been busted for vehicular assault — stopped abruptly at a red light near Dean Street and skidded into the pole, cops said." In his car were his five-year-old son, and 11-year-old and 12-year-old stepsons. The 11-year-old suffered "potentially life-threatening injuries" while the other two children were not injured.
