We have been trying to track announced pole hits in Durham to lend credence to our theory of a mysterious attraction between drivers and Durham poles.
Just as we were resigning ourselves to a peaceful end to the year, yet another driver left his mark on yet another Durham pole – the 15th hit of this year.
Durham Regional Police Service (DRPS) early yesterday reported a motor vehicle collision.
Officers responded to a call at about 6am at Simcoe Street North and Bond Street West in Oshawa.
They found a vehicle crashed into a pole. The suspect driver had fled the scene on foot.
Officers from the DRPS Central East Division located the driver a short distance away, who was taken into custody under suspicion of impaired driving.
The area was subsequently cleared.
