Police say a driver was injured when he lost control of his car on Shawmont Avenue near Umbria just before midnight.

A passing tow truck driver noticed the head lights off the road and called police.

The truck driver eventually pulled the car out, and planned to come back to retrieve smaller, damaged parts.
