Vehicle Strikes Power Pole in Crossville

Crossville, TN (January 4, 2021) A vehicle crash is reported to have occurred the afternoon of January 4th at the intersection of North Main Street and Miller Bypass close to the Dairy Queen. The collision resulted in the knocking down of a power pole. Motorists are advised to exercise caution while passing through the area. Additional details about the crash including whether anyone was injured or killed and what caused the vehicle to strike the power pole remain uncertain.

Crashes related to roadside fixed objects like trees and utility poles comprise 12 to 15% of all fatal roadway departure crashes in the United States. Besides the risk of being killed as a result of collision, utility poles that are downed or struck by vehicles can maintain a charge and as a result pose an additional danger to drivers. As a result, if you’re involved in a motor vehicle crash, remember that it is often a better idea to remain inside of the vehicle if a utility pole wire has come loose.
