TV Truck Hits Pole, Closes Road
'Clean House' films, production vehicle slams telephone pole
A TV crew passed through South Nyack and Grandview Monday afternoon, gathering a crowd of curious onlookers—and knocking down a telephone pole on River Road.
Clean House, a home makeover show that airs on the Style Network, set up shop in the river village to shoot an episode earlier this week. As a result, traffic was snarled—but not because of cameras in the street.
A production van slammed into a telephone pole, snapped it in two and closing River Road for two hours, according to Robert Van Cura, South Nyack-Granview's police chief. The pole has since been repaired.

The closure marks the third time the road was closed this month; other incidents included a car rollover in Piermont—where the motorist was trapped under his vehicle—and a downed tree by the Tappan Zee Bridge.
