DUNMORE - A car crash on East Drinker Street early this morning put close to 2,000 PPL Electric Utilities customers in the dark.
The 1,923 customers had their power restored in the afternoon.
The outage began at about 3 a.m. when a car crashed into a utility pole in the 700 block of East Drinker Street, PPL spokesman Rich Beasley said. The number of affected customers increased when crews had to de-energize the affected line in order to repair it.
