The vehicle struck and sheared off the utility pole at the corner. The passenger was located at the corner residence and was transported to the Hospital for minor injuries. The driver fled on foot. He was not located. The roadway was shut down due to low energized wires across the road. We Energies responded to replace the pole. The roadway was shut down for approximately 5 hours to repair the pole and place the wires at the correct height. “
This was an accident that had an impact on a lot of people outside of the accident zone.
