Monroe crash knocked pole, live wires down onto roadway

MONROE — A crash in town Saturday afternoon knocked down a Eversource pole, leaving live wires down and the vehicle’s occupants trapped inside. The one-car crash on Walnut Street was reported by Monroe fire officials shortly after noon. “Parties are trapped in the vehicle with live wires down,” officials said on social media. Eversource had been called to the scene on a priority. According to the utility company’s outage map, five customers in Monroe are currently without power. Though it’s likely, it was unconfirmed that those outages were caused by the crash. The Monroe Volunteer Fire Department’s spokesman could not immediately be reached for an update on the crash around 4:15 p.m. Saturday.
