HIT AND RUN DRIVER TOPPLES LIGHT POLE IN DOWNTOWN BETHESDA (PHOTO)

UPDATE:

A reader, emailed this photo of the aftermath of a one-vehicle hit-and-run accident in downtown Bethesda.

The reader said he heard a vehicle strike this pole on northbound Wisconsin Avenue at Rosedale around 1:30 AM this morning. That vehicle then reportedly fled the scene. The reader never saw the vehicle, nor which direction it fled.  He only saw the resulting fallen light pole, pictured above in his photo. Seeing the pole dangerously in the roadway, the reader and another person placed barrels to warn oncoming drivers.

If anyone witnessed this accident, I urge you to contact Montgomery County Police right away. Clearly, this was costly damage to public property, and the driver would be prosecuted. Perhaps the vehicle and/or incident were recorded by nearby traffic cameras?
