LINCOLN, Mass. (WHDH) — Utility crews were on the scene Tuesday night after a car crashed into a utility pole, taking down several other poles and hundreds of feet of live wires.
The crash happened at the intersection of Routes 126 and 117.
“When I looked out, I saw wires on top of the car, I saw the pole across the street. I mean, it was pretty bad,” said Claire Stinson. She and her sister Ann Heidenreich ran outside and she said they saw the car surrounded by sparks.
Police said the driver was uninjured and was only trapped in her car until crews could shut off the power.
Crews anticipate a full 24 hours of repairs. Route 126 remains closed from Route 117 to the Wayland town line through Wednesday’s morning commute.
