Especially the nice lady who was behind me when i struck the pole. I blacked out 5 minutes after leaving the dentist office. I do not remember the accident, just the aftermath. I am fine and was taken care of at St. Luke's. I am very fortunate that the only damage was my car and the pole. Thank you people on the scene, paramedics, and Utica Police officers.

The safety and well being of the driver and all that were on scene is all that matters. Poles can always be fixed. Feel better driver we are all here for you. See you this weekend Flag for moderationThursday, May 15 at 7:33 PM Glad eveyone is Ok wrote ...The gentleman was coming from the dentist and passed out at the wheel. He was not injured and luckily there was someone behind him that helped and called 911. There is rumors that he had a reaction to the novacane or a sugar problem Flag for moderationThursday, May 15 at 3:09 PM Anonymous wrote ...thank god you and your baby are ok Flag for moderationThursday, May 15 at 2:02 PM Truck parked in front of car wrote ...I was the vehicle parked in front of the car that hit the pole.

Dear Utica Mom, You know what scares me to death? Thank you seemed to be more concerned about the inconvience of moving your truck (not to even mention your baby) than trying to help the person in the car behind you. Way to set a good example for your child. ~Friend of a Friend
