Truck hits hydro pole, knocks out power to 1,300 in south Winnipeg

People in parts of Winnipeg’s St. Vital neighbourhood were left powerless after a crash took down a hydro pole on Wednesday morning.

A pickup truck hit the pole on St. Mary’s Road, between Britannica Road and Vista Avenue, around 7:30 a.m. It knocked out power to more than 1,300 customers in the area, according to Manitoba Hydro’s outage map.

The traffic lights at two intersections — St. Mary’s & Britannica, and Dakota Street and Novavista Drive — remain dark and drivers are being urged to treat those corners as four-way stops.

There is no information on any injuries from the crash.

Manitoba Hydro estimates power will be restored around 10 a.m.
