Vehicle strikes power pole in Columbia
- October 23, 2022
The Columbia Fire Department responded shortly after 8:40 a.m. Sunday to Washy’s Pub, 210 S. Main Street, after a vehicle struck a power pole.
The pole was reported to be leaning after the collision, and Washy’s Pub reported that power was out at its establishment.
At 9:40 a.m., the power pole was reported to be secured by Ameren and power was soon restored at Washy’s Pub.
Police said a silver 2004 Chrysler sedan driven by Madison Muzzarelli, 20, of O’Fallon, dropped off a friend for work at Washy’s but left her car in drive when she exited, resulting in the car rolling forward, striking a fence and colliding with the pole. The Chrysler also sideswiped a parked vehicle.
No injuries were reported in the incident.
