DENNIS A utility pole was heavily damaged in a motor vehicle crash on Lighthouse Road Friday afternoon.
The Dennis Fire Department was dispatched to the area at 12:08 p.m., said Capt. Steven Hierholcer. The top of a trailer truck had struck the pole, causing it to split in two and bringing down the power lines, Hierholcer said.
The area on Lighthouse Road from Lower County Road to the entrance of the Lighthouse Inn remains closed, Hierholcer said, as Eversource works to repair the pole.
Access West Dennis Beach, the Lighthouse Inn or the Uncle Stephens neighborhood is available via Loring Avenue, the police department said on its Facebook page.
