Two people reportedly stuck in car with utility line laying on it

By Howard B. Owens

A caller to dispatchers says he and another person are sitting in a car on Gulf Road, Le Roy, in front of the Sportsman's Club, and a wire has fallen on the car.

The caller reports it as a power line.

Le Roy fire is responding.

While the caller said he didn't know how the wire came down, a first responder reports that it's a motor-vehicle accident and a utility pole is down.

Gulf Road is being shut down.

UPDATE 6:37 p.m.: The accident is believed to be without injuries. Two vehicles involved. The pole is on one vehicle. Both are heavily damaged and need flatbed tows. Power is off at a neighborhing building. Caledonia ambulance requested to the scene for what are believed to be sign-offs.

UPDATE 6:51 p.m.: All victims out of the vehicles.

UPDATE 7:52 p.m.: Le Roy highway requested to the scene to salt the road. The road is no longer blocked.

UPDATE 7:26 p.m.: Le Roy back in service. Road is open.

I guess the "caller" didn't think first responders would notice the pole was down, and their car was damaged from crashing into it?

Talk about needing one for the road!
