Barrington Hills police expect Brinker Road to remain closed from Otis Road to Route 62 until about 3 p.m. while ComEd works to replace a power pole broken this morning when struck by a vehicle.
Deputy Police Chief Rich Semelsberger said the pole was broken about 7 a.m. when a vehicle northbound on Brinker swerved to avoid another car that was driving too close to the centerline. The northbound vehicle then hit the power pole and rolled over. Both the driver, a 17-year-old female, and passenger, her 16-year-old brother, were treated by paramedics at the scene for minor injuries.

While I do appreciate the village’s phone alerts, weren’t 3 calls about this closure yesterday a bit overboard?
