Crash Closes Cameron County Road
A section of Route 120 in Cameron County was closed for several hours Tuesday afternoon when a vehicle hit and broke a utility pole, which then hit another utility pole.
State police closed the road because the poles and their power lines had fallen onto the road.
The accident happened when 31-year-old Jay Ball of Sinnemahoning got distracted by his passenger’s backpack falling onto the floor and onto the transfer case handle. In trying to retrieve the backpack, Ball lost control of the vehicle, causing it to travel into the opposite lane of travel and hit the first utility pole, breaking it in half. That pole hit the second pole, which also broke in half.
No one was hurt.
