McCowan Road was closed for over 10 hours today after a York Regional Police officer lost control, flipped his cruiser and crashed into a hydro pole in Markham.
The officer was traveling southbound on McCowan Road at 4:40 a.m. when he lost control of his vehicle said Const. Rebecca Boyd. He was taken to hospital with what were originally thought to be serious injuries but they were downgraded to minor injuries.
Highway 7 to the 401 on McCowan was closed until 3 p.m. while police investigated, said Sgt. Laurie Perks. The cause of the crash is still unknown.
The crash caused a power outage for one address on McCowan Road, said PowerStream spokesperson Debbie Conte. Hydro crews had to wait for police to clear the scene before they could start repairing the pole.
Ms. Conte said once crews went in to change the pole, more customers were affected with the power outage lasting the majority of the business day.
She said power has now been restored except to traffic lights at Highway 7 and McCowan Road. A police officer is directing traffic.
