At around 3:10 a.m. on an early Sunday morning, officials reported a vehicle that had struck a pole before overturning. The accident took place in the Oxford Circle section of Philadelphia. There was so much force that it caused the wires to come down, causing thousands of people in the local area to lose power.
Police reported that the incident took place at the intersection of Deveraux and Summerdale avenues. That is where a vehicle struck a pole. The pole provided power to the surrounding area and was no longer working after the accident. The car flipped over on its roof from the force of the accident. There were no initial reports of injuries from the accident, though the crash is still being investigated.
