Power outages in Raleigh after crash downs power lines

A crash in Raleigh caused downed power lines on Saturday morning.

Neighborhoods near S. New Hope Road near the intersection of Maybrook Crossing Drive were without power.

An estimated 1,800 people have lost power in the area near S. New Hope Road and Poole Road according to the Duke Energy Carolina’s outage map.

Duke Energy was on the way to the scene when WRAL News first learned of the crash, and their website says an estimated restoration time is around 10 a.m.

Roads were wet due to an isolated storm cell that moved across Wake County this weekend. It is not clear whether wet roads had anything to do with the crash.

Several first responders were on the scene, including multiple police cruisers, multiple ambulances and firefighters.

WRAL News is working to learn more about what caused the crash and whether anyone is injured.
