The aftermath of a crash on North Shore Road in Smith’s (Photograph supplied)
A traffic collision in Smith’s temporarily knocked out power to homes in three parishes last night.
A police spokesman said that a motor car travelling east on North Shore Road, just west of the junction of Jennings Road, crashed into a utility pole.
The spokesman said the driver suffered minor injuries, and the road had been blocked off in the area with traffic diverted along Jennings Road and Store Hill.
Belco said in a post on social media that the company was aware that customers in Devonshire, Smith’s and Hamilton Parish had lost power as a result of the collision.
However, as of 11.20pm only five homes in Smith’s were still in the dark.
