A section of Congress Street in Portland was temporarily closed to traffic Sunday evening after a commercial truck crashed into a vehicle parked next to Lincoln Park.
Police said the impact of the collision pushed the parked vehicle, a Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck, into a utility pole. Wires from the pole fell into the roadway, forcing the section between Pearl and Franklin streets to be shut down.
