One person was injured in a one car crash that close Route 57 for several hours.
SOUTHWICK— A single car crash shortly after midnight Sunday sent the driver to the hospital and closed Route 57 as utility workers replace a utility pole.
Southwick Police Sgt. Rhett Bannish said the female operator, the sole occupant of the car, was transported to the Baystate Medical Center with "non-life threatening injuries."
Bannish said the investigation into the crash is on-going, but preliminary information indicates the driver apparently lost control of the vehicle as she traveled westbound on Route 57, also known as Feeding Hills Road, near the Brew Too bar. The car apparently struck a utility pole, rolled over across the roadway, then struck a tree off the north shoulder of the roadway.
An ambulance from the Agawam Fire Department responded to the scene and transported the injured woman to the Springfield hospital.
The road will remain closed, Bannish said, as workers from Western Mass. Electric Company and Verizon replace the utility pole and reattach service lines.
