The East Kingston Fire Department responded to a crash in the same location as one that occurred last week.
A car crashed into a utility pole on Route 107 in East Kingston, New Hampshire, on Saturday, snapping it in half just one week after it was replaced when another car crashed into it in the exact same spot.
The East Kingston Fire Department said it responded to Saturday's crash after receiving a 911 call just before 1 a.m. reporting a motor vehicle crash involving the utility pole on East Road in the area of Apple Hill Golf Course near the Kensington line.

The driver sustained minor injuries, fire officials said.
A week ago, on June 17, the utility pole had to be replaced when another driver crashed into it, bringing down the pole and wires around 3:30 p.m. In that incident, two off-duty firefighters who witnessed the crash were able to pull the driver from her vehicle moments before it became engulfed in flames.

The East Kingston fire and police departments were assisted on scene by the Kingston fire and police departments, as well as Kensington police.
