The driver of the Louis Lee and Son asphalt paving truck out of North Haledon apparently wasn't injured seriously in the noontime-hour crash, which also downed wires, between Fardale Avenue and Lehmann Street in Mahwah.

The road was closed in both directions while a crew from Orange & Rockland Utilities replaced the pole.

Township police responded and were investigating.
