Power outage in Falls Church after utility pole hit in crash

FALLS CHURCH, Va. - Multiple businesses, residences and government buildings in Falls Church were without power Friday morning. 

Power has been restored to the area, according to officials. 

The outage was due to an accident which hit a utility pole near North Washington Street and Great Falls Street in Falls Church. Roads are closed on Rt 29 between W Columbia Street and Great Falls Street, and drivers are asked to use alternate routes. 

The utility pole is the same one that was hit earlier this month, causing outages for nearby City Hall and the Mary Riley Styles Public Library. Power had been restored in the area the same day.
