MOST OF CITY OF CROSSVILLE WITHOUT POWER

MOST OF CITY OF CROSSVILLE WITHOUT POWER

Most residents of the City of Crossville awoke to no power on Sunday morning due to one of the main sub-stations going offline. Many people who neighbor the Highway 70 East Sub-Station reported seeing an explosion in the station between 4-5 AM sending the city into darkness. 1057 News talked to Volunteer Energy’s Bobby Randolph, who said that a transformer malfunctioned at the station. Crews immediately were on the job and were able to get power to emergency locations such as Cumberland Medical Center. Power was also re-connected to the Crab Orchard and Lanatana Sub-Stations. Randolph says that they are working on establishing to get power back online by early Sunday afternoon, which he hopes will be around 2 PM. Until then, most of the downtown area will be without power. Remember when coming to an intersection where stop lights are inoperable, treat the intersection as a four-way stop. 1057 News will have more information as it’s made available.
