Cracked Pole, Low Hanging Wire on North Country Road Slows Traffic

Village code says cracked utility pole not due to car accident.

A utility pole cracked at the base on North Country Road at Laurita Gate in the village of Port Jefferson forcing cars to slowly proceed through the area. A wire is drooping over North Country Road.

Although the road is opened, village code officers were waiting for a crew to come fix the pole. Code officers on the scene said that the cracked pole was probably not due to a car hitting it. High winds in the area could have contributed to the pole breaking.
