Emergency crews were on the scene of a crash on Parkland Drive that forced a closure on the road Thursday.

Halifax Regional Police says officers responded to the crash in the 700 block of Parkland Drive just before 11 a.m. A driver struck a utility pole, police say, and was being treated for non-life-threatening injuries.

“Traffic is currently being re-routed in the area and Parkland Drive will be closed to vehicle and pedestrian traffic for an extended period to repair the utility pole,” police wrote in a media release.

People were being asked to use alternate routes to avoid delays.
