RIVERSIDE, Ohio

Police said a man doing doughnuts in a car he had just bought struck a power pole, sending him and his two children to the hospital.

Authorities told the Dayton Daily News the man was doing the stunt in his Pontiac G8 in a snowy parking lot in Riverside on Wednesday afternoon.

Police said the man apparently lost control and hit a live power pole, knocking the pole over and leaving the car with a crumpled front end.

The man and his two children have been hospitalized with nonlife-threatening injuries.
