Posted September 23, 2020 1:00 am

A driver was seriously injured late Tuesday after a car slammed into a utility pole in Arlington Heights, breaking the vehicle in two.

The accident occurred just before 9 p.m. in front of Jimmy D's District restaurant and bar at Northwest Highway and Wilke Road in Arlington Heights, authorities said.

The impact left the Honda Accord mangled and a power line down, causing an outage in the area until ComEd crews arrived to repair it. Emergency crews were on scene for hours during the crash reconstruction and investigation.

The driver of the car was taken to a hospital with serious injuries, but his condition was unknown Wednesday.

Arlington Heights police and fire department officials declined to provide further details Wednesday, saying a news release would be issued Thursday.
