SPRINGFIELD – City firefighters responded to a car wreck Saturday morning that left two men injured and a car crushed under a utility pole with live wires dangling over the vehicle.
The accident occurred at Alden Street and Island Pond Road just after 6:30 a.m., according to Fire Department spokesman Dennis Leger.
Leger, executive aide to Fire Commissioner Joseph Conant, said the men were ordered to stay in the vehicle given the risk of the live wires but did not heed the firefighters warnings. They were nonetheless uninjured even though they both stepped directly in a puddle, he said.
One man suffered a head wound and both were taken to the hospital by ambulance. The cause of the accident is still under investigation.
