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.

He suffered brain trauma from the fall at 15th and Market streets and was transported to Jefferson Hospital, the report said.

The teenager was among several fans who climbed light poles after Philly Mayor Cherelle Parker warned people not to do so.
