Published: February 26, 2009
Spirit Lake Road in Winter Haven is open again following a single-car crash early this morning.
The driver, 21-year-old Tyler Parton of Bartow, missed a curve and his 2008 Dodge Avenger rolled over and crashed into a power pole, Polk County sheriff's office spokeswoman Donna Wood said. Parton was taken to Winter Haven Hospital, where he was in stable condition.
His father, 49-year-old Kenneth Parton of Bartow, was a passenger in the car. He was taken to Lakeland Regional Medical Center, where he was in stable condition, Wood said.
The crash knocked down power lines. It took Tampa Electric crews two hours to repair the damaged pole and lines. The road reopened shortly before 5 a.m.
The investigation into the crash continues. No charges have been filed.
