UPDATED: Overnight Road Closure Near Georgetown for Broken Utility Pole

Drivers in the Georgetown area were detoured off Zoar Road overnight after the driver of a Chevrolet Trax traveling eastbound went of the road just before 2:30am and struck a utility pole and overturned in the area of Peterkins Road. Delaware State Police tell the Talk of Delmarva that the 21 year old male driver from Lewes was not injured – but was cited for inattentive driving.

The roadway was closed for several hours while the damaged utility pole was replaced.  Delaware Electric Cooperative officials say a handful of members lost power which was restored around mid-morning.
