DELAWARE POWER OUTAGE

IN CENTRAL OHIO, A TRAFFIC ACCIDENT ON A STATE HIGHWAY CAUSED MAJOR DISRUPTIONS FOR HOURS.
IN DELAWARE COUNTY, THE POWER IS BACK ON FOR HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE AFTER A CRASH ON US 23. THIS HAPPENED BETWEEN POWELL AND LIZELLE ROADS WHEN A MULTIPLE VEHICLE CRASH CAUSED THE POWER LINE TO FALL. NOW MORE THAN 1000 AEP CUSTOMERS LOST POWER FOR ABOUT 5 HOURS WHILE CREWS WORKED IN THE COLD TO RESTORE IT. HIGHWAY PATROL IS STILL INVESTIGATING THE CAUSE OF THE CRASH. BUT WE'RE TOLD THERE WERE ONLY MINOR INJURIES.
