Pittsfield Car Crash Knocks Radio Stations Off Air

PITTSFIELD, Mass. — A police pursuit that ended in a crash reportedly cut power temporarily to four local radio stations on Monday. 
 
Live 95.9-FM and 1420-AM went off the air around 10:30 a.m., according to their Facebook posts. 
 
"Due to an emergency and technical difficulties, we are currently off-air. Engineers are working as quickly as possible to get the station back up and running. Thank you for your patience," 95.9 posted.
 
David Isby, with the stations' owner Townsquare Media, came by the accident, which he posted on Facebook. 
 
"High speed chase on Jason Street - driver snapped pole in half - then exited vehicle and ran," he posted, with pictures of the car catching on fire. "What's more 4 radio stations are off the air until power gets restored or the generator at studios (which kicked on) gets working properly!!"
 
The images show a dark colored, late model four-door car smashed front-end first into a guardrail — right below a deer crossing sign — and a pole and wires laying the road. First the car is smoking with driver's side door open and then fully ablaze. Firefighters reportedly had to wait until Eversource could cut power before attempting to douse the fire. 
 
It's not clear which other radio stations were affected by the collision or if the driver was apprehended. iBerkshires has reached out to Pittsfield Police for more information.
