Ellicott Street between Main and Court is closed in both directions until further notice following a one-vehicle accident.
A Jeep SUV damaged a telephone poll and now National Grid crews are trying to figure out how to keep the poll standing, or the wires from coming down, when the car is removed.
Lt. Eugene Jankowski said Ellicott could be closed for hours while the National Grid makes repairs.
The driver, who has not yet been identified, was taken to Strong Memorial Hospital with unknown injuries.
The accident occurred about 8:30 a.m.
Jankowski said police are asking that drivers plan on avoiding the area and not try to evade the barricades.
UPDATE: The driver has been identified as 41-year-old Julie Conover of Batavia.
