Pole hit

Damage is estimated between $5,000 and $10,000 after a Portland man crashed into a pole along Division Road about 4:40 a.m. Thursday.

Gerson E. Vera Perez, 29, was driving his 2021 Toyota Corolla east on the road just west of county road 200 East when he lost traction on the road. He began sliding across the road and struck a utility pole. His vehicle spun three times after hitting the pole and stopped in a ditch north of the road.

The pole, which is registered to Jay County REMC, was snapped in half.

The vehicle was towed.
