LEEDS — A vehicle crashed into a power pole in Leeds Saturday morning, temporarily knocking out power in the area.
According to a Hurricane Valley Fire and Rescue Facebook post, a blue Ford pickup truck went off the main road at 316 North Main St. and collided with a power pole. Power lines prevented the pole from falling.
Hurricane Valley Fire and Rescue was dispatched to the scene at about 10:37 a.m. The collision caused a temporary power outage and shutdown of the street.
Rocky Mountain Power stabilized the damaged pole and restored power. Company spokesman David Eskelsen said the outage affected 716 customers until 1:27 p.m.
The driver reportedly sustained minor injuries and was examined by emergency medical responders on the scene but refused medical transport.
Washington County Sheriff’s Office responded and assisted but has not responded to contact attempts by St. George News.
This report is based on preliminary information provided by law enforcement officials and first responders and may not contain the full scope of findings.
