A vehicle sheered off a power pole and caused other damage during an accident Wednesday night.

An Oregon State Police report said just before 10:30 p.m. a sedan was traveling eastbound on Highway 42 in the Camas Valley area. It left the eastbound lane, crossed the westbound lane, and left the roadway off the west lane’s shoulder. It impacted the first power pole which fell on a chain link fence and pulled down an adjoining pole on the fence as well.

The report said the sedan crossed over Upper Camas Road and came to rest in the yard of a residence. The driver was cited and exchanged information with the property owners involved. The vehicle was towed from the scene.
