80 Burnham
homes lose power after car crashes into pylon
Power
was cut to dozens of homes on the outskirts of Burnham-On-Sea
this week when a car crashed into an electricity pole, bringing
down cables.
 Police
were called to the scene between Highbridge Caravan Sales and
the Alstone Road turning at 9.16pm on Tuesday January 17th
after the vehicle spun off the road and collided with a pylon.
More
than 80 households in the area were plunged into darkness for
up to three hours while Western Power Distribution worked to restore
power.
Police
cleared away a large amount of debris left on the road and also
diverted traffic around the scene.
A
police spokesman told Burnham-On-Sea.com that it was not believed
the driver had been seriously injured.
