There were no injuries when a driver lost control and crashed into a utility pole Sunday afternoon on Highway 97.

The accident occurred just before 3 p.m. on Highway 97 between West Highway 4 and Pine Forest Road in Davisville. The pole was broken during the accident, which involved a pickup pulling a second pickup truck on a trailer. An unknown number of Escambia River Electric Cooperative customers lost power as a result of the accident and repair work.

The accident is under investigation by the Florida Highway Patrol.

The Walnut Hill Station of Escambia Fire Rescue also responded to the crash.
