Car cuts pole in half on Vernon road

Incident occurred early Sunday morning; driver appeared to be unharmed; pole sheared in half

Vernon resident Danni Van der Molen thought she heard a trash can banging in the early hours of Sunday, March 27, near her Pleasant Valley Road home.

Nope.

What she heard was the sound of a car shearing off a telephone pole and ending up in a ditch at the end of her property near the intersection at Stickle Road.

“Time for speed bumps,” wrote Van der Molen on a social media post about the incident.

She said the driver appeared unharmed but the pole was sheared in half.
