A single-car accident in Dalton damaged a power pole on Chattanooga Avenue in front of the Crown Mill Village apartments and has caused a power outage in the area.
Chattanooga Avenue was closed between Matilda Street and Judson Street while the Dalton Police Department investigated the crash and Dalton Utilities worked to replace the pole. The road was reopened later.
The vehicle, a white Nissan Sentra, was traveling northbound when it left the roadway and struck the pole.
The driver was transported to Hamilton Medical Center by ambulance. At this time the cause of the crash is unknown.
