Tucson police: Hit-and-run knocks out power on Irvington Road

An earlier version of this story mistakenly said the hit and run crash caused a power outage. The hit and run crash was a separate incident from the crash that caused a power outage. The crashes happened around the same time and near each other. 

A car crash caused a power outage on Tucson's south side Friday night, police said.

A vehicle hit a pole at East Irvington Road and South Mountain Avenue, causing a power outage that affected the intersection of Irvington Road and South Park Avenue and the surrounding area.

Officers directed traffic at the Irvington Road and Park Avenue intersection with traffic backed up.
