Around 5:30pm on Sunday, February 12th police received a report of a single vehicle car crash on South Road in Warwick in the vicinity of Astwood Park.

It appears that a car was being driven in a westerly direction when it collided with a utility pole.

Apparently the driver, believed to be a 31 year old Warwick man as well as his passengers, believed to be an adult female and a child, escaped serious injury.

BELCO personnel attended the scene a short time later to repair the damaged utility pole which had blocked the entire width of the road but as of 9pm Sunday they were still working at that location.

Traffic diversions were initially put in place in the area and remain in effect until further notice.

Inquiries continue and any witnesses should contact the main police telephone number 295-0011.

Update: 6:10am Monday, February 13th - BELCO personnel have since completed their work on the utility pole damaged in a single vehicle car crash around 5:30pm Sunday in the South Road, Warwick area near Astwood Park and normal traffic flow in the area has resumed.
