Slippery roads caused a female motorist to skid off the road and run smack into a utility pole on Main Road in Cutchogue this afternoon, leaving the pole hanging precariously over the street, police said.
According to Southold Town police, a call came in at 1:22 p.m. about the accident, which involved a woman who’d been heading east on Route 25 when she lost control of her vehicle and crashed into the pole.
The woman was unhurt and did not require medical attention, police said.
Optimum repairmen at the scene said the wires were still extremely dangerous; traffic was redirected in both directions for over three hours and the road was still closed as of 4 p.m.
