Lake County
Willoughby police are investigating an overnight accident that sent one man to the hospital and left a utility pole snapped in two.
Officers posted to the department’s Facebook page that around 2:52 a.m. officers were called to Robinhood Drive and Ridge Road (State Route 84) for reports of a car into a pole.
On scene officers located a white Saturn with heavy front end damage and a 19-year-old male from Willoughby behind the wheel.
Paramedics took the man to Hillcrest Hospital with minor injuries.
According to police, the accident happened when the victim’s Saturn did not negotiate a curve and instead struck the pole.
