Police Chief Kevin DiNapoli and Fire Chief Stephen B. Kavanagh report that the Wenham Police and Fire Departments responded Monday to a rollover crash that damaged a utility pole.
On Monday, July 7, at approximately 4 p.m., Wenham Police and Fire were called to Larch Row, between Main Street and Four Corners, for a report of a crash.
First responders arrived at the scene to discover a single-vehicle crash involving a commercial tree truck that struck a utility pole and rolled onto its side. There were no reported injuries.
The crash destroyed a utility pole at the scene, and forced first responders to close Larch Row between Main Street and Four Corners while repairs are made to the utility pole. The road is expected to remain closed for several hours.
The Wenham Fire Department also worked to contain a small spill of oil from a transformer and liquid fertilizer from the tree truck. An environmental group is also responding to the scene to clean up those spills.
The crash also caused a small power outage in the immediate area. National Grid is expected to restore power once the utility pole has been repaired.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation by the Wenham Police Department.
