Guelph police say a 51-year-old man has been charged following a crash that destroyed two hydro poles and closed a stretch of Speedvale Avenue during the Monday morning commute.
The crash happened at around 7:45 a.m. near Kathleen Street after a pickup truck mounted the curb and struck both poles.
The impact sheared both poles and live wires were knocked to the ground, cutting off power to a few customers in the area.
