Residents in Prince George’s County, Maryland, have had their power restored after thousands were in the dark following a car colliding with a utility pole Tuesday night.

A Pepco spokesperson told WTOP the outage was caused by a car that crashed in to the utility pole on the 4100 block of Brinkley Road in Temple Hills.

The downed pole caused a power substation to lose functionality, triggering power losses throughout the area.

Pepco said that crews went to the scene of the crash to assess the damage and get power back on as soon as possible. By the predawn hours of Wednesday, the power company restored power to affected residents.
