Crash Results in Power Outage

It will be several hours before BC Hydro can have this hydro pole replaced (photo opinion250 staff)

Prince George, B.C. - Power is out to about 2400 hydro customers in the north end of Prince George because of a truck crash.

No one hurt, but a Chev pick up went off Chief Lake Road just west of Foothills Boulevard and slammed into a hydro pole.

The driver of the truck was not hurt.

Police say alcohol and speed were not factors in the crash however driver fatigue may have been.

Hydro has to replace the full pole, so they estimate it will be this evening before the change has been made and power is restored to the 2400 customers who have been without power since about 12:30 this afternoon.

Judging by the tire tracks the driver must have been asleep for awhile before actually hitting the pole.

ICBC will pay for that and I will pay ICBC. Simple, eh?

An awesome day to have the sump pump not working for ~6 hours because some bozo decided to drive even though he was in no shape to do so. He should have his license pulled. One less idiot on the road.
