Crash Topples East Kingston Utility Pole in Same Spot

A crash took out a utility pole near the Apple Hill Golf Course in East Kingston for the second Saturday in a row.

Chief Ed Warren said a 911 call came in about a vehicle into the pole on East Road around 12:55 a.m., which snapped it in two. The driver suffered minor injuries in the crash, according to Warren.

The road was closed for about 12 hours to replace the utility pole.
