Phillipsburg police are investigating the accident.
The driver of a pickup truck Saturday afternoon lost control of the vehicle, crashed through a utility pole and into a wall in Phillipsburg, according to a witness.
The driver of the Toyota Tacoma at 1:30 p.m. was at Morris Street at the off-ramp from Route 22 west when the crash occurred. The utility pole broke into three sections before the truck crashed into a retaining wall, the witness reported.
The cause of the crash remains unclear. A Phillipsburg police lieutenant Sunday afternoon said the accident remains under investigation and more information would be available Monday.
The driver and a female occupant both were taken to area hospitals with undisclosed injuries. Crews arrived shortly after to repair down wires.
