PARSIPPANY — A drunk driver crashed a pickup truck into a utility pole on Friday, March 30, closing the portion of Parsippany Boulevard between Littleton Road and Route 46. The utility pole was broken in multiple areas.
Parsippany Boulevard is expected to be closed through the morning commute for repairs and investigation. Power outages have been reported in the area, affecting 700 JCP&L customers.
The driver was arrested for DWI and cited for reckless driving.
Residents who live in Brookside Senior Center and Tivoli Gardens apartment complex currently can access their homes only by entering from Littleton Road.
A JCP&L crew are on the scene to stabilize the pole so the truck can be removed and repairs can be completed.
