FRANKLIN TWP. — Roadways reopened a little before 8 p.m. Friday following a one-vehicle injury crash in the 4300 block of Ohio 123 near West Pekin Road.

Around 1:50 p.m. Friday, a 2001 silver four-door Honda struck a pole and caused power lines to fall down, Warren County dispatchers said.

Dispatchers said Duke Energy had to install a new pole and Time Warner Cable had to repair wires that were across the road.

One individual was transported to the hospital, dispatchers said. Dispatchers did not know if the individual transported was the driver. The male driver was cited for failure to maintain reasonable control.
