A juvenile’s vehicle took out a utility pole in the 300 block of West College yesterday afternoon after she allegedly lost control of her vehicle.

Officers responded to a crash near the intersection of West College and South Church Street just before 4PM.

According to a report by Jacksonville Police, a vehicle driven by a 16-year old female juvenile was attempting to turn right onto College Avenue from Church Street, when an unknown vehicle is said to have honked its horn that spooked the juvenile, who then lost control of her vehicle, causing it to strike the utility pole.

No injuries were reported. No citations were issued, and no tow was required.

Editor’s Note: A previous version listed the driver as 50-year old Peggy Childers of Concord. The vehicle’s listed ownership is for Childers, but she was not the individual driving the vehicle that collided with the utility pole. We apologize for this error.
