Utility Pole Downed in Front of Lyon Village Community House

By ARLnow.com
Published September 17, 2010 at 8:27PM | Updated July 12, 2017 at 2:25PM

A car apparently crashed into a utility pole next to the Lyon Village Community House this evening, splitting the pole in two and, in a chain reaction, knocking down a street light up the street.

The striking car reportedly took off after the accident.

The wires that fell to the street were said to be fiber optic and not live power lines.
