Eagles fan, 18, on life support after falling from light pole after NFC Championship

An 18-year-old man is on life support after falling from a light pole Sunday in Philadelphia as Eagles fans celebrated the team’s NFC Championship win over the Commanders in the streets, according to an ABC 6 report.
