JAMESTOWN — Route 62 in Frewsburg was closed for about 30 minutes Thursday afternoon after a runaway horse trailer sheared a utility pole in half, Chautauqua County sheriff’s deputies said.

Police said Russell A. Spunaugle, 60, of Jamestown was driving east on Route 62 in a Ford pickup, towing an empty horse trailer about 1:30 p. m. when he hit a bump and the trailer broke loose, deputies said.

The trailer crossed the center line and struck the utility pole in front of 196 Main St., Frewsburg.
