Car crashes into pole in Schenectady

SCHENECTADY – A car struck a pole Monday on Albany Street in Schenectady, shutting down a block for a time for repaired that pole and another.

The crash happened around 12:30 p.n. near the corner of Albany and Bigelow streets and left a large dent in the car’s front end.

The driver apparently fled the scene prior to officers’ arrival.

A police spokesman could not be reached for information on the crash Tuesday morning.

Albany Street between Elm and Bigelow was closed while National Grid replaced both poles.
