A Brunswick man suffered minor injuries when he lost control of his vehicle on a patch of ice and struck a utility pole, snapping it in half, according to Brunswick police.

The crash happened around 9:30 p.m. on Old Bath Road in Brunswick, near James Street.

Ryan Doyle, 39, was driving south when he lost control of his Toyota RAV 4 and struck a Central Maine Power telephone pole. Police had to close the road due to dangling wires.

CMP workers repaired the damaged pole and lines that night. Old Bath Road reopened around 11:40 p.m.
