Car Crash Knocks Out Power to West Peabody Homes

A light pole snapped in half after a car crashed into it Sunday afternoon.

An undetermined number of homes in West Peabody lost power Sunday afternoon after a car accident on Elizabeth Lane. Peabody Municipal Light Plant says a vehicle crashed into a light pole at 24 Elizabeth Ln. and the pole was snapped in half, bringing down wires and the transformer. A PMLP crew was still on scene around 3 p.m., replacing the pole and transformer. The crash was first reported around 2 p.m. Peabody police say the vehicle apparently drove off after hitting the pole.

Is Power Still Out for You Today?

Power or no power?

Did you lose power yesterday? How long did it take before it came back on, or are you still waiting in the dark? Let us know in the comments section so we can spread the word. There were a lot of trees, power lines, telephone poles and light poles knocked down in the hurricane and a number of power outages as a result. You can also check in with Peabody Municipal Light Plant at 978-531-5975 if you're still waiting for power to come back on.
