Did a driver crash into a utility pole that snapped in half in Lake Worth last Thursday? No. But John Dzenitis at ABC25/WPBF thinks it did

To say the folks at ABC25/WPBF are challenged when it comes to understanding municipal borders is an understatement. It would probably be more accurate to describe them as institutionally clueless. The folks at NBC5/WPTV are hands down the best in this area of journalism and CBS12/WPTV is on the upward learning curve as evidenced by some recent accurate reports.

Here's the latest false news report from John Dzenitis at ABC25:
LAKE WORTH, Fla. —All lanes on Military Trail at 10th Avenue have reopened after a vehicle crashed into a utility power pole Thursday afternoon.
     Palm Beach County Fire Rescue crews responded around 12:35 p.m. after a report that a vehicle had side-swiped a pickup truck and then crashed into a wooden power pole.
The good news is the woman involved in the crash is expected to be OK. The only serious issue here is the lack of accurate TV journalism.
Military Trail is west of the City of Lake Worth in unincorporated Palm Beach County, accurately referred to as suburban Lake Worth.
