A 42-year-old man dozed off while driving a silver Jaguar eastbound on New Castle Road at 5:42 a.m. on Friday morning, according to a report from Butler Township Police.

A news release from police said the accident occurred just east of Butler Commons.

Philip Campbell fell asleep while at the wheel of the Jaguar, crossed the westbound lanes, jumped the north curb and sheared off a West Penn Power utility pole before a decorative tree finally stopped the car.

Campbell was not injured in the crash.

The Veterans Affairs Fire Department and Butler Township Fire District 3 responded to the scene along with police.

The news release did not say whether Campbell was or will be cited by police.
