Three customers were without power overnight Sunday after a pickup truck struck a utility pole in the parking lot of a Powdersville church, report news sources.
The two occupants of the truck were unharmed, but firefighters had them remain at the scene until after Duke Energy workers confirmed that the downed lines were not energized. Because of the crash, three Duke energy customers lost electricity from 9:06 p.m. Sunday until 3 a.m. Monday, said a Duke Energy spokesperson. Some computer equipment in the church was damaged because of a power surge caused by the downed lines.
Being an Orangeburg auto accident attorney, I am well aware of the types of injuries that can be suffered in a crash involving a utility pole. I am relieved that no one was hurt. Because of my experience as an Orangeburg personal injury lawyer, I am very aware of the split-second difference between everything seeming fine and a terrible vehicle crash. I urge motorists always to practice safe driving habits and to stay alert to changing road and traffic conditions.
