EASTHAM – A car struck a utility pole in Eastham shortly after 4 PM. The collision happened on State Highway (Route 6) between Governor Prence Road and Hememway Road. The driver was evaluated but appeared to have escaped serious injury. Traffic was detoured at both Governor Prence and Hemenway so motorists should plan on delays as they follow the detour due to the broken pole. Eastham Police are investigating the cause of the crash.
Update 7:30 PM: One lane of Route 6 in each direction is now open. Crews will remain on scene to replace the utility pole. Expect delays to continue for the next several hours.
The highway fully reopened just before midnight.
