According to county police, PFC Sean McGlone, 41, was involved in a single-vehicle crash on Zion Drive in West Springfield on Monday shortly after 3 a.m. He was not on duty at the time.
Police said McGlone was the sole occupant of his personal vehicle when it struck a utility pole near the intersection of Grovewood Way.
