A powerful storm that came through the region Wednesday toppled a dozen utility poles along Buckeystown Pike in Frederick County, shutting down part of Route 85 and trapping drivers between downed wires and debris.
Frederick County Fire and Rescue crews responded near Fingerboard Road after severe winds moved through the area. Officials say several poles landed on vehicles, and one person was taken from the scene as a precaution. No serious injuries were reported. Emergency crews worked for hours to secure live power lines and help stranded motorists while utility crews began repairs.
Late last night the roadway reopened.
