A vehicle toppled a telephone pole Tuesday afternoon in Ross, sending at least one person to the hospital and knocking out power for nearly 2,000 customers in the North Hills.
Major intersections along Babcock Boulevard near McKnight Road and Siebert Road reopened Tuesday night after crews worked to clear the wreckage and restore power to traffic signals, a member of the Quaill Volunteer Fire Department said.
By 4 a.m. Wednesday, all power had been restored, but crews worked well into the night, with two small pockets of 16 customers in Hampton and 24 in Richland without power at 11:30 p.m. Tuesday.
The crash was reported at 2:23 p.m., an Allegheny County 911 shift commander said.
Ross police are investigating, and could not immediately be reached for details about the crash.
Medics took at least one person to a nearby hospital by ambulance, the 911 shift commander said. The extent of the person’s injuries was not clear.
