The pole was downed completely, so it took time for LPEA crews to affect temporary repairs. Power was restored at 12:03 p.m. to all except one customer – the customer directly fed by the downed pole. Crews were changing out the damaged utility pole.

LPEA was unaware if the accident resulted in any injuries to the driver of the vehicle.
