HEBRON — One person was transported to Stephens Memorial Hospital in Norway early Wednesday morning with unknown injuries after a car struck a utility pole along Route 119.

A second vehicle later drove through downed guy wires near the scene. 

Paris fire Chief Brad Frost said crews reported to the scene of a two-car accident near the Hebron Fire Station at approximately 2:38 a.m., after a woman was reportedly pinned beneath her car.

Even as crews responded to the scene, a second vehicle struck guy wires supporting the downed telephone pole, Frost said.

The identities of those involved in the accident and the extent of their injuries were not immediately available. The injuries did not appear to be life-threatening, Frost said.

The makes and models of the two cars were also unavailable.

Frost said the impact from striking the utility pole forced the car, which was traveling down a steep hill, off the road before it came to rest in a clump of trees. The occupant reportedly tried to extricate herself from the vehicle and crawl away, but was pinned by the open door when the vehicle shifted.

As the second vehicle, a pickup truck, approached the scene, it passed through the hanging guy wires, which ripped off its hood and smashed the windshield.

“It look like he hit a moose,” Paris firefighter Chuck Blaquiere said later Wednesday morning. 

Frost said the driver of the pickup was not transported to the hospital.

Oxford County Sheriff’s deputies, who also responded to the scene, were not immediately available to report on the accident.
