Hit-and-Run Causes Power Outage
A hit-and-run driver caused a power outage in Cross Fork early Friday morning, and as of this morning the village is still without power.
State police say at 3 a.m. Friday a red passenger car or minivan was attempting to turn onto Main Street from Stewart Hill, but was going too fast to make the curve, slid through the intersection and hit a utility pole, causing it to break halfway up.
The top portion of the pole fell to the ground, pulling the attached wires with it. The car backed away from the pole and fled the scene.
Crews with Tri-County Electric are on the scene repairing the pole.
Anyone with information on this incident is asked to call Coudersport-based state police at 274-8690
