Driver Charged After Vehicle Slams into Pole on Vestal Parkway A Johnson City man was injured in a car crash on Route 434 near the Vestal town hall. Authorities say 26-year-old Zaid Rahman lost control of the vehicle he was driving when he tried to change lanes to pass another motorist around 8 a.m. Monday. Police say Rahman's eastbound car struck the other vehicle and veered across the westbound lanes. The car then slammed into a utility pole at 610 Vestal Parkway West in front of a vacant store. The base of the pole was splintered by the impact of the vehicle, which sustained heavy damage.
