Prince George RCMP reports a pick-up truck collided with a utility pole on Foothills Boulevard near Freimuller Avenue around 11:45 PM, which caused a blackout in the area. BC Hydro reported that power initially went out at 11:36 PM.
Foothills Boulevard was closed in both directions while RCMP and other emergency services were on scene.
RCMP believe the adult male driver, and truck’s only occupant, lost control while driving over an icy patch. He was uninjured.
