One person was injured when a vehicle collided with a light pole and subsequently hit a light pole on Quinpool Road in Halifax shortly after 7 a.m. Saturday.
A Halifax police press release said the 26-year-old driver was taken to hospital with injuries that did not endanger his life.
The accident happened between Preston Street and Monastery Lane. This stretch of street was closed for about an hour.
The owner of East Coast Bakery, located across the street from the service pole, provided CBC News with security camera footage.
In the video, the car is seen heading east along Quinpool Road and then up the sidewalk and hitting the service pole.
It shatters the base of the stick, causing a transformer to crash into the sidewalk. The remaining top of the stick bounces over with the cables still connected.
The car then crosses the road to Monastery Lane.
The video only shows the mains pole hit and not the second pole mentioned in the statement.
According to the press release, the driver is not expected to be charged in the crash.
