FOX 12 spoke with the woman crashed her car into the utility pole. She says she accidentally caught the curb while looking for oncoming traffic and her car collided with the pole.
She says she’s a little embarassed and feels terrible about the crash, and apologizes to everyone who had lost power because of it.
“I saw a lot of sparks fly but I didn’t think it would come to this. There’s a lot of people without power. I’m sorry about that guys,” she said.
It’s not known at this time when power will be fully restored to all customers but crews are working on it.
