OPP cruiser, November 26, 2015 (Photo by Maureen Revait) Cleanup crews have their hands full after a vehicle sheared a hydro pole in half Monday morning.
OPP were called to County Rd. 11 (Walker Rd.) between Alma St. and South Malden Rd in Essex at about 6:45am.
Police say a pickup truck hit a hydro pole, snapping it in half and causing wires to be strewn across the road. No other vehicles were involved.
The area was closed for several hours while crews cleaned up the mess, but has since reopened.
SPS Board Chair Kelly Ash said the decision followed discussions with Acting Chief Mike Federico and aligns with practices at other police services.
The annual Canada Day parade will begin at 11 a.m. on Saturday, June 27, from Wildwood Park to Kenwick Park.

Environment Canada said Thursday night that severe thunderstorms were moving further east after rain and high winds affected portions of the region.
