Trailer Crash Knocks Out 3K Power | Virginia Beach News

Early Thursday morning, a utility trailer plowed into a power pole in Norfolk, knocking out power for nearly 3,000 customers—though no one was hurt. Tidewater Drive was shut down between Brightley Road and Waukesha Avenue, with crews working to replace the pole and restore power. A detour via Sedgefield Drive was advised. Initial estimates for restoration were 11 AM–2 PM, but by 11 AM, Dominion Energy reported most customers were back online, with only about 200 still without power—expected to be fixed that afternoon. They encouraged residents to check their outage map for real-time updates. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
