Car Crashes Into Light Pole, Driver Unijured: Plainfield Police | Plainfield, IL Patch

PLAINFIELD, IL — A car crashed into and damaged a light pole Wednesday afternoon in Plainfield, prompting a two-hour-long road closure, according to police.

The driver in the single-car crash, which happened around 4:52 p.m. near Naperville Road and Ash Street, was uninjured, Commander Anthony Novak told Patch.

Officers were called to the scene of the crash where they confirmed a 2008 BMW 528i struck a light pole. The sedan was lodged under the damaged pole, requiring ComEd to be called to the area.

Novak said the driver reported she was traveling southwest on Naperville Road when she attempted to turn left onto Ash Street when she veered off the road and into the pole.

Naperville Road was shut down to traffic shortly after the crash and reopened once ComEd secured the light pole, which occurred around 6:57 p.m.

Volunteers from the Plainfield Emergency Management Agency assisted on the scene.
