Car Vs. Power Pole Wreck Leaves Homes In The Dark
May 11, 2012
A single vehicle crash Thursday night on Pine Forest Road in Walnut Hill left a small number of residents in the dark.
The driver of a car was northbound on Pine Forest Road just north of Pelt Road when he lost control and struck a power pole about 9:30 p.m. The collision snapped the pole off at the base, and sent power lines down for several hundred feet along Pine Forest Road to the railroad tracks at Pelt Road.
The male driver of the vehicle and his female passenger refused medical treatment at the scene.
The accident is under investigation by the Florida Highway Patrol; the Walnut Hill Station of Escambia Fire Rescue also responded.
A small number of homes in the area lost power for a few hours as Escambia River Electric Cooperative worked to replace the pole and lines.
