Driver rushed to hospital after vehicle slams into hydro pole

A 26-year-old man was taken to London hospital with serious injuries after a car knocked over a hydro pole on Lakeshore Road Monday night.

Sarnia police responded to a crash in a construction zone at Lakeshore Road and Huron Shores Drive at around 8:50 p.m.

Police said the hydro pole was sheared off and the wires had fallen to the ground. It took Bluewater Power crews over 10 hours to fully restore service in the area.

It's alleged the car also crashed into another vehicle on Lakeshore Road before hitting the pole. Police said the occupants of the other vehicle were not hurt.

Anyone with further information is asked to call Cst. Allison Knapp of the Sarnia Police Service Traffic Unit at 519-344-8861, extension 6203.
