Early Morning Wreck Cuts Power, Closes Roads In Byrneville For Hours
August 24, 2014
Numerous Byrneville area residents were left without power during humid early morning hours of Sunday after a single vehicle accident.
The driver of a Dodge Dakota pickup truck lost control at the intersection of West Highway 4 and Byrneville Road and struck a power pole about 12:45 a.m. The driver was not injured and refused transport to the hospital.
The collision sent power lines down across the intersection, closing both roadways for several hours, and leaving an unknown number of Escambia River Electric Cooperative customers without electricity. Additional EREC customers lost power about 4:00 as the downed pole was being replaced.
The accident is under investigation by the Florida Highway Patrol. Escambia County Fire Rescue, Escambia County EMS and the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office also responded to the crash.
Further details, including the driver’s name, have not been released.
