Emergency personnel responded shortly before 6 p.m. Saturday to a single-vehicle crash on East Locust Street near the American Legion in Columbia.

A car struck a utility pole, resulting in downed power lines and the vehicle coming to rest on its roof in the roadway.

There was a brief power outage as a result of the crash, with Charter cable and internet service also interrupted.

Police said a 2025 Toyota driven by James Munden, 43, of Columbia, was pulling out of the American Legion parking lot at a high rate of speed and then overcorrected, leading to the crash. Munden and a 14-year-old male passenger in his car both refused medical transport from the scene.

Munden was cited for improper lane usage.
