lake roadShortly after 10 Saturday night, a vehicle accident resulted in a downed power line on the road leading to Jim Hall Lake.
Police, fire and OHP troopers were on the scene to close the road until utility workers could repair the damage.
A preliminary report indicates a vehicle was westbound when it apparently went out of control and failed to negotiate a curve on the roadway. The vehicle struck a power pole on the south side of the highway then spun around into a ditch. The power pole was knocked into the roadway.
It took REC workers several hours to replace the broken pole. No word was given how many custers were without electrical service.
The accident happened about two miles west of the lake.
