NANTICOKE, LUZERNE COUNTY- A car accident in Luzerne County forced a heavily-traveled road to close and it left thousands without power.
Police say the crash happened at Middle Road and Prospect Street in Nanticoke just before 7:00 Sunday morning.
Utility workers say a young woman driving a pick up truck knocked over one utility pole, then hit another one that caused the outage.
U. G.I. said the power was out until late Sunday afternoon. Nanticoke police say the truck driver was not hurt.
