The 28-year-old Jeep driver from Garfield was distracted when the right front fender of his southbound Jeep struck the right front fender of a northbound SUV on Terrace Avenue just past Cleveland Avenue, Detective Lt. Michael Colaneri Jr. said.
The Jeep continued onto the opposite sidewalk, toppling the pole, he said.
An ambulance responded, but neither the Garfield driver nor the other motorist, a 65-year-old borough woman, required hospitalization, the lieutenant said.
The Jeep driver received a summons and both vehicles were towed because of the damage, Colaneri said.
PSE&G and Verizon also responded, he said.
