Wreck causes outage

A one-vehicle accident in the 400 block of Hammond Drive caused a power outage around noon Friday. The driver of a 2000 Escalade apparently suffered a medical condition that caused him to strike a utility pole, breaking it in half, said Hot Springs police Officer 1st Class Seymour. The driver was transported by LifeNet to a local hospital. Kroger, 215 Airport Road, and around 100 other Entergy Arkansas Inc. customers were without service as a result of the accident, according to Entergy's online outage map. Hammond Drive was shut down as the pole was replaced. The Sentinel-Record/Mara Kuhn
