Around 9 am on July 15 a truck collided with a power pole in Riverview Dve, causing a large power blackout in the area.

Police confirmed the blue and yellow truck was towing a white trailer when it attempted to perform a U-turn and hit the pole.

The incident also caused a small power surge, which damaged appliances in nearby homes.

Police said about 40 households were affected by the power outage, with the incident reported to police the day after it occurred.

“The driver was required to remain at the scene and report the collision,” police said.
