The two-car accident at Black Road and Gael Drive pushed one of vehicles into a power pole, Joliet police said. One passenger suffered a broken hip.
A traffic collision late Thursday morning sent a vehicle careening into an electric pole on Black Road and knocked live wires into the street, Joliet police said. It also left one of the car passengers with a broken hip and two others with minor injuries, Cmdr. Al Roechner said.

About 1,600 residents in Channahon and Minooka found themselves without power Tuesday morning, after a truck snagged a line.
Residents in Channahon and Minooka were grateful that, for the most part, they survived the last round of storms to hit the area without losing power. But that story changed Tuesday morning when 1,600 residents were without power after a truck snagged a feeder line. "A feeder line is a power line that supplies circuits with the main supply of current," John Schoen, ComEd spokesperson said. ComEd is reporting that the truck hit the line at Ridge Road and Route 6, although residents reported the incident was at Ridge Road and Misty Creek Drive. The power went out around 8:50 a.m. and was restored by 10:07 a.m. Residents reported outages via the Channahon-Minooka Facebook page in Chestnut Ridge, Lakewood Trails East and West, Water's Edge, …

Numerous power outages reported, including at Taste of Joliet. More storms possibly on the way.
A severe thunderstorm with hurricane-strength wind is moving through Joliet right now, power out all over town -- including at Taste of Joliet at Joliet Memorial Stadium. "We have power outages all over," according to the Joliet Police Department watch commander, who said they were watching to see if a new line of storms were developing. He could provide no more specific information about any damage related to the storm, which came through with very strong wind and led to the early cancellation of the Taste at about 9:30 p.m. One Joliet Patch Facebook reader whose daughter was at the Taste posted this note: "My daughter went to see REO. I've been texting her and she said that it was so bad that the police were helping people climb over …
