WICHITA FALLS (KFDX/KJTL) — Following a pin-in crash, a man is now fighting for his life after being flown to the hospital on November 12, 2023.

The pin-in accident happened at the 1300 block of Harding Street, which was shut down as Wichita Falls Police worked the wreck scene Sunday afternoon.

A 35-year-old male was driving a vehicle traveling westbound on Harding at an excessive rate of speed.

He failed to negotiate a curb in the road, got turned sideways, and struck a telephone pole, leaving him pinned in.

The firefighters extracted him from the vehicle, and he was transported by helicopter to John Peter Smith Hospital with life-threatening injuries.

At the time of the crash, the man was the only occupant in the vehicle, and authorities are not sure if he was wearing a seatbelt.

The incident is still under investigation.
