BILLINGS, Mont. | A man told police not to blame him for crashing his truck into a light post — it was that unicorn behind the wheel.

Prosecutor Ingrid Rosenquist said Phillip C. Holliday Jr. initially denied driving the truck involved in the March 7 crash in Billings. He told officers at the scene that a unicorn was driving, she said.

Holliday, 42, pleaded not guilty Tuesday to felony charges of criminal endangerment and drunken driving.

A pickup truck drove through a red light and nearly struck another truck, according to court documents. The driver made an erratic U-turn through a gas station, crossed the street and crashed into a light pole. Nobody was injured.
