Utility pole and power lines down close to Route 137, Albion ME
A utility pole fell near Route 137 in Albion, Maine, causing power lines to lie across the road. Emergency crews closed the road to traffic and are on site working to resolve the situation. The pole itself is off the road, but the downed power lines are blocking the roadway. Crews plan to clear the area as soon as safety permits.
