Car accident causes eight hour power outage
Las Vegas, NV (KTNV) -- Crews with NV Energy have restored power to Las Vegas residents affected by a power outage.
Power was fully restored to all customers just before 9 p.m. Saturday evening.
The outage happened around 1 p.m. in the area of Sloan Lane and Carey Avenue, between Nellis and Hollywood Boulevards.
NV Energy told Action News a car struck a fuse cabinet, causing the outage.
About 1,200 customers in that area were without power.
Power was restored for most of the customers about an hour later, while 200 others remained without power. Their power came back in about eight hours later.
NV Energy was able to re-route power to most of the customers, once they found where the problem was.
