Madison Gas and Electric responded to an accident scene Saturday, after a vehicle struck an electrical pole on West Gorham Street. Madison Fire Department spokesperson Lori Wirth confirmed the occupants fled before fire department personnel arrived.
Wirth said the incident occurred at approximately 11:20 p.m. at 116 W. Gorham St. No serious injuries were reported.
MG&E Corporate Communications Manager Margaret Collins said one customer was without power from 11:30 p.m. to 4:30 a.m. as a result of the crash.
“[Crews] put in a new pole… The old pole is still in place and later this week we will come and replace that one,” Collins said.
Collins said she was unsure of the cost of the damage.
