Copilot of United jet that struck a light pole realized flight was low, but not in time: report

A United jet clipped a light pole while landing at Newark; the plane sustained substantial damage but landed safely and no passengers were hurt.
Debris from the pole—not the plane—struck a bakery truck on the New Jersey Turnpike, damaging its windshield and trailer; dashcam caught the moment as the driver glanced out.
The copilot said he noticed the plane was “low” too late to abort; crews faced gusty winds and a short runway, and the NTSB is still investigating.
