Police: 1-car crash briefly cuts power, closes Bohemia roads

A one-car accident forced the temporary closure of a Bohemia intersection early Tuesday, also briefly knocking out power in the area, Suffolk County police said.

The crash occurred at 1:09 a.m.

Police said the driver, whose identity was not released, suffered injuries, but said they were not life-threatening.

The crash occurred on Church Street near Locust Avenue and temporarily closed the intersection.

Photos from the scene show the vehicle, partially overturned, and a knocked down utility pole and lines.

Police said PSEG Long Island was called to the scene and said repairs were made to the pole and power lines.
