Sussex, NJ — January 12 — At McCoy's Corner, where Routes 565 and 628 converge, the Sussex Fire & EMS responded to a car accident. A car struck a power pole in the collision, causing the pole to collapse and necessitating a complete road closure in the vicinity. In order to protect the area, manage traffic, and lessen the risks posed by the damaged infrastructure, firefighters collaborated with law enforcement. Utility firms were asked to fix the downed pole and make the road safer.


In order to safeguard responders and drivers, utility pole incidents frequently necessitate prolonged closures. During traffic situations, emergency services representatives advise drivers to slow down, stay vigilant, and take detours. Until the roads was restored, drivers were instructed to stay away from the area and find alternate routes.
