A driver sustained non-life-threatening injuries Monday afternoon after an unusual single-vehicle accident on South Kingston Avenue in Rockwood.

Around 1:15 p.m., the vehicle left the roadway in the 200 block, struck a utility pole’s guy wire, and climbed upward before coming to rest against the pole. Emergency personnel, including police, firefighters, and Rockwood Electric Utility crews, responded to stabilize the pole and safely free the trapped driver, who was then transported to an area hospital.

The road was temporarily closed during the rescue and cleanup. Officials noted that this is the second time a vehicle has struck the guy wire in this location.
