CHARLESTON, W.Va. — A tractor-trailer hitting a power pole in downtown Charleston late Thursday morning caused traffic and power issues.
The driver of the truck took a right turn too tight at Virginia Street East onto Clendenin Street and snapped a pole in half around 11:30 a.m.
State police were on the scene blocking lanes of Virginia Street, cutting it to one lane. Power was out at local businesses briefly.
Metro 911 said injuries were unknown.
