The afternoon crash knocked down a utility pole and forced a brief closure of the road in Hope Township.

The driver and a passenger of a car were taken to an area hospital after a single-vehicle crash into a utility pole Tuesday afternoon in Warren County, according to New Jersey State Police.

Neither was believed to have been injured in the Hope Township, and both were taken to be evaluated as a precaution, a trooper said Tuesday night from the Hope barracks.

Reported about 12:15 p.m. in the 1000 block of Route 519, the crash remained under investigation, according to police.

Authorities closed the road for a brief time until the sedan could be towed.

The utility pole was knocked down, but anyone who lost power as a result had service restored as of Tuesday night, according to the FirstEnergy website for JCP&L.
