Port Angeles firefighter Lt. Kevin Denton, left in photo, and Port Angeles public utility worker Jim Shay examine a truck that ran into — and up — a Qwest Communications pole it severed in the 1200 block of West Eighth Street in Port Angeles on Wednesday evening.
Witnesses said the eastbound pickup struck the pole, causing telephone lines to sag over the street and forcing closure of the thoroughfare until Qwest crews could replace the pole.
The driver, who was not identified, reportedly suffered minor injuries.
