SEE ALSO: Car hits vehicle, concrete porch; driver injured
The preliminary investigation suggests the driver, a male in his 20s, went off the road headed east on Ludlow and couldn't pull the small compact back onto the road and hit the pole.
The impact snapped the pole, its upper half left leaning over the roadway with the lines still attached.
According to the DP&L online outage map, electric service to the estimated 78 customers without power could be restored by about 2:30 a.m. A crew is on scene.
