A van crashed into a utility pole in Wellesley on Rte. 16 near the entrance of Elm Bank Reservation on Tuesday morning, forcing the closure of the busy road. Wellesley and Natick police were on the scene, as were helicopters, which negated the need for alarm clocks set for later than 6am in the neighborhood.
Authorities say a clean-up of the utility pole and wires, plus hazardous chemicals from a transformer, is underway.
Police estimate a lengthy closure on Washington St (Route 16) at the Natick line due to this crash. Access to Elm Bank for the morning (and camp drop off) may be effected. pic.twitter.com/cWr7CpVcfj
