PITTSFIELD, Mass. — A portion of West Street is closed after a sport utility vehicle hit and broke a utility pole Wednesday morning.
Crews are currently working to clean up the area. The pole was broken into multiple pieces, some still attached to the wires.
There are no known injuries at the time and the area is not believed to have lost power.
Around 7 a.m., the Pittsfield Police Department received a report of a two-car accident in which one vehicle hit the pole. Unconfirmed posts on Facebook say one vehicle pulled out in front of the other, causing it to cross lanes and shear into the pole.
"The pole got sheared down and some wires were down across West Street," Sgt. Shaun Gariepy reported.
The incident closed a section of West Street between Valentine Road and Nottingham Drive, with traffic directed down Valentine Road and Jason Street.
