A vehicle crashed into a utility pole at 8005 North Road in Le Roy, breaking the pole in half. Minor injuries are reported. Le Roy Fire and Le Roy Ambulance are responding.
The location is between Conlon and Hebbard roads, but closer to Conlon.
The roadway is completely blocked. Fire police are called to halt traffic at North Road and Route 19 and also at Conlon Road and Oatka Trail.
UPDATE (12:28 p.m.): The driver is out of the vehicle and walking around.
UPDATE (12:32 p.m.): National Grid has been notified about the damage. No ETA given.
UPDATE (12:45 p.m.): Before fire police could handle the traffic flow, a vehicle mowed down a stop sign somewhere in the vicinity and the county highway department is being notified. The authorities are determining whether there is a power outage. A pair of German shephards are in a nearby yard and if there is no power there, the dogs will need to be restrained, presumably because an electrical fence would not be working and the residents aren't home. National Grid is on scene.
UPDATE (1:05 p.m.): There is no phone service east of Conlon Road. The dispatcher says the downed line is reportedly for one of the largest service areas.
UPDATE (2:54 p.m.): National Grids says it will be four to five hours to complete repairs. More hazard cones to block traffic are requested from the county highway department, enough to block off three different traffic areas.
