The car left behind a headlight, police said, and it appears to be a Nissan Maxima made between 1995 and 1999.

The crash was overnight Friday or early Saturday morning. The driver likely had heavy front-end damage and the pole was completely knocked over.

Anyone with information is asked to call Orrville Police at 330-684-5025.
