Crash into power pole

BOISE, Idaho — Nearly 2,500 customers were left without power after a car collided with a power pole in Boise Wednesday morning.

The wreck happened at Victory and Federal Way, downing multiple power lines. The impact of the collision snapped off a large section of the pole, leaving it lying in the roadway. 

No one was hurt in the crash, according to Boise Police. The cause of the collision remains under investigation, but streets are icy and slushy in many areas following an overnight storm. 

Idaho Power sent crews to assess and repair the damage, and electricity has been fully restored by Thursday morning.

Idaho Power said eight power poles were impacted by the collision, with six poles needing replaced.
