A green sedan crashed into a hydro pole on Main Street in Shawville on the afternoon of Jan. 24., just a couple of doors west of St. Paul’s Anglican Church.

Shawville-Clarendon Fire Chief Lee Laframboise said the department got the call at 3:47 p.m.

Laframboise said he suspects speed and tire condition caused the driver to lose control of the vehicle.

“She had to be driving too fast to do that much damage,” he said.

Laframboise did not disclose the name of the driver, but said the accident did not cause any injuries.
