A Chico man was severely injured at 5:45 a.m. Thursday when he lost control of his 1997 Jeep Wrangler and struck a wood utility pole on Midway, south of Entler Avenue.
The California Highway Patrol said Terrence A. Jow, 22, was taken by ambulance to Enloe Medical Center in Chico, where he was met by a trauma team.
The man reportedly suffered broken legs, a large gash to his scalp, and head trauma.
At noon Thursday he was listed in critical condition by hospital personnel.
CHP investigators said a witness noticed Jow's vehicle weaving in and out of the southbound lane on Midway.
Jow reportedly failed to negotiate a right-hand curve and hit the pole on the east edge of the roadway. Jow's speed at the time of the crash was estimated at 35 mph.
The driver wasn't wearing a seat belt, the CHP said, but he remained in the vehicle after the crash.
