Car Hits Utility Pole on Batavia's Main Street on Sunday

One female was taken to the hospital after a single-vehicle rollover crash that snapped a utility pole today on Batavia's West Side, officials said.

The incident occurred on the 1400 block of Main Street between Feece Drive and Batavia Fire Station 2, 1400 Main St., said Randy Zies, Batavia fire battalion chief.

One sport-utility or station wagon-type vehicle was involved in the crash. Emergency crews initially were dispatched to the scene at 11:27 a.m.

The female complained of some head pain and was taken to Delnor Hospital. She was wearing a seatbelt, Zies said.

"I would estimate maybe 20 yards off the road," Zies said of where the vehicle landed. "It went through the fence, snapped a telephone pole and was on its roof in the field."

Fire crews did not have to break any doors off but still had to physically remove the female, even though she was conscious at the scene.

"We had to get her out of there," Zies said. "She didn't get out on her own power."

Although a utility pole went down, no power outages were called in to police. The fire department also did not respond to any outages, Zies said.

Traffic was blocked on Main Street near the scene of the crash but was reopened at about 1 p.m., according to Batavia police.

Further information on how the crash happened was not immediately available. Patch will post an update later this week if more details are released.
