SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, March 11, 2023 (Gephardt Daily) — One person was transported to a hospital Saturday morning after a collision involving two vehicles and a power pole.

The accident was reported at about 2:30 a.m., acting Lt. Joe Cyr, Salt Lake City Police, told Gephardt Daily. SLCPD and Salt Lake City Fire crews responded to the scene, at 800 South and 700 West.

“A power pole was hit, but it looks like injuries were fairly minor,” Cyr said.
