Single-vehicle crash in Mill Woods knocks out power to several homes

Emergency and EPCOR crews were called early Thursday morning to a collision in a southeast Edmonton neighbourhood – that left a number of people without power.

Emergency crews were called just after 6 a.m. Thursday to a single-vehicle crash on Mill Woods Road near 17 Avenue.

Officials on the scene told CTV News it appeared the car lost control in a corner, and hit a transformer.

The collision knocked out power to a number of homes in the area, in addition to street lights – it’s not clear how far the power outage reached.

EPCOR was on the scene a short time later, and started work to restore power to the area.

An EPCOR spokesperson said later Thursday morning that 53 homes were still without power just before 11 a.m. - power was fully restored to all homes just before noon.
