As many as 700 Wallaceburg residents were left in the dark Saturday morning after a vehicle collided with a hydro pole on Margaret Avenue.
Chatham-Kent Police have not released any official details about the incident, but Entegrus crews spent much of the morning making repairs to the pole, which snapped in half.
Most customers had been restored by 11:30am, but the utility said customers who are fed off the transformer bank where the pole is to be changed will remain without power until close to 5pm.
