COBB COUNTY, Ga. — Cobb Parkway was closed in both directions for hours on Saturday after a car crashed into a light pole.
The road was shut down at Lake Park Drive. Officials said Saturday night that the road would remain closed for at least 5 hours.
Police said the accident caused a light pole to become unstable and Georgia Department of Transportation crews are en route to fix it.
"The pole is severely compromised and will collapse eventually, so we're not letting any cars through," Cobb County officials said.
Police asked that people avoid the area until the pole was fixed.
