GRAFTON, Mass.-- A driver was sent to the hospital Wednesday after the car they were driving crashed into a telephone pole at 155 Providence Road splitting it in half.
According to Grafton Police, the accident occurred Wednesday at 5:26 p.m. Two police units, an ambulance, fire and heavy rescue arrived on the scene. No information was available on the person driving the car or which hospital they were sent to.
According to one neighbor, the car's impact on the pole was so intense it shook the building. He said the car was traveling north when it hit the pole, spun 25 yards on the opposite side of the road and hit a guard rail.
A second neighbor, who arrived home moments after the accident occurred, said the rescue squad spent more than 30 minutes with the Jaws of Life cutting the car roof off to extricate the victim.
Neighbors who live in the apartment complex lost power for a time as crews worked to repair the pole and downed wires.
The Grafton Daily Voice will provide more details as they become available.

I have some pictures & video from my phone on this... I've been thinking about this poor woman & praying she's ok. Is there any update? That moment of impact was one of the scariest moments of my life!! I thought someone drove into the house!! Either that or my poor neighbors porch collapsed, lol. Losing power was NOT fun, but that was the least of my worries after my 1st experience witnessing the jaws of life in action!!
I have been exploring for a little for any high quality articles or blog.

Power restored from the 345 a.m. power loss around 1 pm !! Sucks to be without Water to flush or shower !! Wells SUCK
I grew up on a well and feel your pain there... Ended up getting a generator... I think I'm going to start looking for generators again.. National grid cannot seem to keep the power on whenever there is any kind of storm.
The power came back on pretty quickly from that incident ... But apparently they still can't fix the wind knocking the power out this morning at 4:15am.. Was still out at 6:30am...
Hope the driver is ok... 122 has been accident alley lately..
I hope the driver will be ok! 122 was still closed at 8:30pm!
