Alcohol was an apparent factor in a dramatic crash early Sunday morning. The crash happened about 1:30 a.m. on Shore Heights Road. As seen in the photo, a utility pole was left dangling in the roadway. A Honda Accord sedan had extensive damage and ended up with its rear end up on a wall after striking the pole. A Honda Civic coupe's roof was caved in apparently from the downed pole. A parked car next to it had its rear window smashed out. The impact also pulled electrical wires off at least one building and damaged telephone company equipment as well. The Civic driver was arrested at the scene for operating under the influence of alcohol. The Accord driver was taken to the Hospital for evaluation. He is also being charged with drunken driving, operating to endanger and failing to stay in marked lanes. Police are investigating the crash, which shut down Shore Heights Road for several hours.
