Accident caused power outage in parts of Wichita Falls

About 20,000 customers in Wichita Falls were without power briefly Tuesday after a truck at the North Texas State Hospital construction site raised its trailer into some power lines, according to Oncor spokesman Gordon Drake.

Drake said the incident happened about 11:30 a.m., and most customers who were affected by it had power restored within about 15 minutes.

He said while the truck sustained damage, no one was injured and no Oncor equipment was damaged.

Drake said most of the affected customers were in the southern and western parts of the city.
