Sandy Car Accident Causes Power Outage

Last night, January 25, 2009, a car spun out of control on an icy road and hit a power pole near 1300 East and 9100 South in Sandy, Utah. The crash severed wires and disrupted power to about 7300 residents for around two hours. Interestingly, a Sandy City Police Dept. squad car somehow got tangled up in the wires and had to wait until rescue crews could get him out. There is no word on the condition of the person who hit the pole. Obviously, they have no legal claim in this situation since from the sound of it, they were driving too fast for conditions.
