According to the Avalon Assistant Fire Chief, an SUV was traveling south when it hit the curb, sheered a telephone pole, and landed on its side against a vacant home.
It has been since towed away and the driver was not hurt.
Duquesne Light is now on the scene to evaluate what to do with the telphone phone before Route 65 is fully reopened to traffic.
