Fife – If you live in Fife and your power was out this weekend then you and the contents of your refrigerator have been a victim of a hit and run accident.
Police confirmed that the power outage that left hundreds of Fife residents without power was caused by a car ramming into a single power pole. The car hit it with such force that it broke the pole, severing power lines.
The crash occurred about 2 a.m. in the 6100 block of Pacific Highway East on Saturday.
When police arrived at the scene the driver had fled. Their escape was probably aided by the cloak of darkness that had covered the small town.
The investigation is still underway. If you have any information please contact Fife police.
Though this has not been deemed an act of terrorism, cutting the power to a whole town is serious business. Of course, Fife should rethink its power grid if one reckless driver can affect so many.
If you or a loved one retain property damage caused by a careless or drunk driver it is important that you find out your legal rights. Call Phillips Webster for a consultation.
