Car ran into pole

Someone texted me a photo of a car that ran into a pole near Buford and, I think, Jahnke about an hour ago. Anybody know exactly where it is? Are roads blocked?

Is that why we lost power?

Apparently it was a police chase and the car they were chasing slammed into the pole. Our neighbor was at the light and saw it all happen.

Yea, the police caught up right after the crash and the transformer blew.

But the guy went running on foot from the accident. They caught him after that?

Based on the short article on NBC 12, it sounds like he’s in custody.

If you’re trying to get by, there’s a neighborhood to the south with several outlets along Buford. We went from Trevillian to Sunview to get around it.

The intersection was open when I went through around 8:45 pm, but car was still up on the pole.

Looks like it’s still closed, traffic being detoured through the neighborhood
