A driver has been on the run after slamming a vehicle into a utility pole overnight.
The incident happened at the corner of Donelson Pike and Wellman Drive early Friday morning.
There were wires down across the road, but luckily they were phone wires, not power lines, so people in that area had electricity as they woke up.

Crews expected the roadway to be closed for several hours as they worked to clear the scene.
Anyone with information on this crash has been asked to contact police.
