Berlin Turnpike Reopens

The Berlin Turnpike (U.S. Route 5) has reopened on the Berlin/Newington line after a vehicle struck a pole in Berlin.

The crash happened around 10:15 p.m. Sunday, police said. There were no injuries, but the crash caused high-tension wires to come down across the road.

The downed wires also caused power outages on the Newington/Berlin line and Connecticut Light & Power crews responded to repair the damage. Power has since been restored.
