Unexpected Incident Causes Power Outage in Greer
In Greer, an unexpected incident has made it to today’s headlines. A dump truck incident on Highway 14 has caused a blackout, leaving many locals without power, \n and tearing a utility pole down.
For those who missed out on what happened, let me break it down for you in simpler terms. So, there was a dump truck that ended up hitting a powerline, and guess what happened next? The impact was such that the truck got entangled with the powerline wires, causing the utility pole in the 1800-block of Highway 14 to break down.
If you imagine the scene, you’d picture a truck stuck amidst a chaos of wires, which honestly, was a bit of a sight! And, as you might expect, this occurrence led to a power outage in the area.
The Aftermath – Power Outage
Here’s where it gets serious. Due to this mishap, about 500 customers were initially left without power, which was quite an inconvenience. Thankfully, prompt response from the local utility company was able to bring the situation somewhat under control by the late evening.
Initially, they estimated the restoration time for the power to be around 7:30 p.m. on Friday. However, completing the task proved to be more time-consuming than they expected. As of around 11:40 p.m., can you believe there was still one customer without power?
The restoration time shifted to 2 a.m., but at least efforts were being continually made to resolve the situation. This incident goes to show how even the most unpredictable events can disrupt our daily routines.
