COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

A road at a highly traveled roundabout in Columbia was closed after a crash led to a light pole falling in the street.

Country Wood Road was closed after a non-injury crash occurred. A Columbia Police Officer at the scene did not give a timeframe for how long the road would be closed off.

Boone County Joint Communications sent a notification at 7:05 p.m. stating that a light pole was down at West Vawter School Road and South Old Mill Creek Road. Both of those roads share a roundabout with Country Wood Road.

A Water and Light spokesman said at 8:41 p.m. that the pole was moved.
