Posted March 24, 2017 1:00 am
There were no injuries in an accident after a car hit a utility pole about 10:35 a.m. Friday on Route 31 in Elgin and closed the road - also known as State Street - from Locust to National streets near downtown, Police Deputy Chief Bill Wolf said.
"The line is sagging across State Street so they decided to shut it down as a precaution," he said.
ComEd expects to finish repairs by 5 p.m. or so, Wolf said.
