Police and paramedics were called to a soccer game Saturday afternoon after a light pole fell on a player and referee.
Danielle Meyer told KFSM that as soon as she arrived at the game, she knew something had happened.
"I mean, as soon as we stepped out of the truck, there was a big old explosion, and I thought maybe a tent had blown over," Meyer said.
Strong winds caused the pole to topple onto the field while students were playing soccer, Clarksville Superintendent David Hopkins said.

According to Clarksville Activity Director Michael Banning, the referee sustained a broken leg with a fractured tibia and fibula, and the high school player had superficial wounds to their head and legs.

Poles falling is one of those widespread problems that most never hear about. Problem is the flange at the bottom that holds the pole down. Just about every large shopping center, mall, stadium, etc..etc.. have inspection contracts for them. An inspector is looking at the flanges and at the top to try and make sure nothing is coming loose. They use drones for a lot of the high stuff.
Hundreds of poles across the U.S. fall down every year in parking lots. Many of them hit parked cars. You just never hear about it.
