REGINA – A close-call for a male driver Wednesday afternoon, whose van hit and broke a power pole.
The Regina Police Service say emergency services were called to the single vehicle accident at Ross Avenue and McDonald Street at 12:17 p.m.
An investigation has revealed the van was heading Westbound on Ross Ave. when the driver lost control and hit the power pole.

The street has been re-opened after being closed for much of the afternoon while repair work was ongoing.
