A busy stretch of N. Glebe Road just north of Ballston was completely blocked Tuesday afternoon.
A moving van took down a utility pole and live wires near 15th Street N. just before 2 p.m. The road was closed in both directions while police and fire personnel awaited utility crews to start cleaning up the mess.
Firefighters first encountered the crash while responding to a call for a fire in a chimney several blocks north along Glebe Road.
All lanes were back open as of 4:15 p.m., according to Arlington Alert.
~1400hrs: WIRES DOWN.
