Oncor restores power in Euless after truck crashes into pole early Friday
About 4,400 Oncor customers in Tarrant County were experiencing power outages as of about 10 a.m. Friday, likely due to downed powers lines caused by car crashes or other issues not related to the weather, officials said.
Power has been restored in Euless after a truck crashed head on into a power pole early Friday, according to Officer Tyler Killman with the Euless Police Department. The accident took place on East Mid Cities Boulevard. The driver’s injuries are not life-threatening, Killman said.
Oncor workers are in the process of putting up a new pole and restringing the wires. The cleanup and repair work is expected to take several hours, Killman said, but Oncor already rerouted the electricity to get the power back on.
It’s not clear what caused the power outages in downtown Fort Worth and on the Near Southside. Oncor estimated an outage near downtown would be fixed by around 11:30 a.m.
