About 4:30 am, a car went out of control and slammed into a power pole then a tree before
ending up in Cenotaph Park.
ending up in Cenotaph Park.
Coldstream Fire Chief Dave Sturgeon says the force of the impact sheared off the front of the vehicle.
Two occupants inside were very lucky and walked away with minor injuries.
The road is expected to reopen with single lane alternating traffic for several hours while the power pole is replaced.
The cause of the accident remains under investigation, but excessive speed is suspected of playing a role.
