Commuters in and out of Germantown can dealt with a traffic headache Monday morning.

A stretch of Poplar Pike was shut down after a car hit a utility pole overnight. The pole was hanging sideways, and the vehicle was in a ditch between the road and the railway tracks.

Police closed Poplar Pike in both directions between Rolling Valley Drive and Eastern Avenue.
