A semi truck crash at Center Street and Pioneer Parkway in Arlington on Wednesday evening brought down a power pole and power and fiber lines, interrupting electricity to homes and businesses. No restoration estimate was available in the latest update.<\/p>\n

An Oncor spokesperson told WFAA<\/a> that the semi pulled down the pole and lines. Police said the fallen lines blocked the roadway, and officers directed drivers around the scene.<\/p>\n

In a social media statement at about 5:50 p.m. Wednesday, police said Oncor and Spectrum crews were at the scene addressing the damaged infrastructure and outage. Police had not said whether anyone was injured.<\/p>\n

Power Outage Hits Area Neighborhoods and Businesses<\/p>\n

Arlington police said the outage affected homes and businesses in the area.<\/p>\n

Why restoration estimates can change<\/p>\n

According to Oncor<\/a>, a restoration estimate may be unavailable or change while the utility determines what repairs are required and whether specialized crews or equipment are needed.<\/p>\n

Traffic Rerouted Around the Scene<\/p>\n

Police directed traffic away from the scene while crews worked on the downed lines and pole. Eastbound Pioneer Parkway was closed at Matlock Road and Cooper Street.<\/p>\n

Northbound Center Street traffic was required to turn east onto Pioneer Parkway, while westbound Pioneer Parkway traffic was diverted north onto Center Street.<\/p>\n

WFAA reported that it had contacted Arlington police and Spectrum for additional information. Its report did not include further details on the outage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A semi truck crash at Center Street and Pioneer Parkway in Arlington on Wednesday evening brought down a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":481860,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[150,152,151],"class_list":["post-481859","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-arlington","tag-arlington","tag-arlington-headlines","tag-arlington-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/481859","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=481859"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/481859\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/481860"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=481859"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=481859"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=481859"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
