A man blames a series of sneezes on an accident that took out a light pole on Gray Highway.

He refused to give his name, but he says as he drove down the street, he suddenly began to sneeze and just couldn't stop. The driver says he ended up losing control of his car, and ran off the road and into a light pole in front of El Sombrero.

There was some front end damage to his car, and the toppled pole cracked a car windshield in the parking lot, and also damaged the tailgate of a truck.

The driver said he's very lucky and thankful no one was hurt, including himself, since his air bag did not deploy.

He said he was embarrassed by the incident.
