BATH — A Gardiner man suffered minor injuries Dec. 17 when his vehicle skidded across slippery Washington Street, through a chain-link fence and into a utility pole, police said.
William Cressey, 37, suffered head lacerations, according to Lt. Stan Cielinski. His brother took him to a local hospital for treatment, Cielinski said.
Cielinski said that Cressey was traveling along the north end of Washington Street at 3:27 p.m., when he lost control of his 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee on a curve.
There was minor damage to the fence, and Central Maine Power Co. declared the utility pole was safe, Cielinski said.
