At 8:26 P.M. on Thursday, June 4, 2015, Paris Police responded to a security check in the 2500 block of Church Street. It was reported that a semi tractor trailer driven by a 24 year Idabel man had attempted to turn left into a parking lot of a business and the trailer struck a utility pole.
Oncor arrived and advised that the pole had not been damaged but power had been lost in the area. According to an Oncor representative, approximately 750 customers were without power for just over 2 hours.
No one was injured in the incident.
