As many as 33,700 customers were reported without electricity following the crash.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Florida Power &amp; Light officials said crews restored power about 90 minutes later, but crews remained at the scene Saturday morning as authorities continued their investigation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">The intersection remained shut down from University Drive toward Sunset Strip, causing significant traffic backups and delays. Drivers were navigating through the nearby plaza to get around the closure.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Authorities urged drivers in the area to seek alternate routes while the investigation and cleanup continued.<\/p>\n<p>\ud83c\udfe0 News From Your Neighborhood<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph b-article-body__copyright\">Copyright 2026 by WPLG Local10.com &#8211; All rights reserved.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-chromatic=\"ignore\" alt=\"Linnie Supall\" class=\"c-image\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/https:\/\/author-service-images-prod-us-east-1.publishing.aws.arc.pub\/wplginc\/CANLLYSXDJBXDMDOXMBEIDTX.jpeg\"  width=\"100\" height=\"100\"\/>Linnie Supall<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph b-author-bio__author-description\">Linnie Supall is an Emmy nominated and award-winning journalist.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-chromatic=\"ignore\" alt=\"Ryan Mackey\" class=\"c-image\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/https:\/\/author-service-images-sandbox-us-east-1.publishing.aws.arc.pub\/wplginc\/8725e99c-e445-48a0-bd.jpeg\"  width=\"100\" height=\"100\"\/>Ryan Mackey <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph b-author-bio__author-description\">Ryan Mackey is a Digital Journalist at WPLG.
