Parts of Walhalla lose power

Parts of Walhalla, including businesses and traffic lights on Main Street, lost power around 5 o’clock this afternoon—the result of two related car accidents.  One accident occurred at Main and College.  The second occurred when one of the cars in the first accident traveled one more block, hit a guy wire, and took down power lines in front of the Civic Auditorium.  Medical attention was required for both drivers and wreckers were needed for both vehicles.  Fire Chief Doug Kelley, who helped coordinate the emergency response, said Duke Energy repair crews arrived quickly and went about the task of restoring service.
