A 29-year-old man from Wenatchee drove his car into a light pole around 11:30 p.m. yesterday. When police arrived he told them a pterodactyl caused the crash.

“Wenatchee police cited the man with first-degree negligent driving. A breathalyzer test showed a minimal amount of alcohol,” said Wenatchee police Sgt. Cherie Smith.

Witnesses told police the man was northbound on Wenatchee Avenue and drifted into a southbound lane for less than a block.

“Oncoming traffic stopped and waited for the man to pass,” Smith said.

Then he totaled his car on a light pole.

The man was treated and released at Central Washington Hospital, hospital officials said.
