Brentwood Chief of Police Dan Fitzgerald posted on the department blog Sunday afternoon that Manchester Road was closed, both directions, between Cecelia and Dorothy avenues due to an accident.
Fitzgerald reported that early Sunday morning a vehicle traveling west on Manchester Road, near Helen Avenue, left the road and struck a utility pole. The driver was not injured. The pole was heavily damaged and needed to be replaced. The Ameren crew on the scene said it would be late afternoon before the road re-opened, and it was closed all afternoon.
The accident knocked out power on Genevieve, Melvin and Florence avenues for several hours according to posts on Facebook.
