SPARKS, NV - Pyramid Highway is back open after a crash that closed the road and led to power being cut off for about an hour. A truck hit a power pole, dropping power lines onto the road. No one was hurt, and the road was cleared and power restored about an hour later. No word yet why the driver hit the pole.

The story is a truck struck and stretched AT&T and Charter communications cables. The stretched cables recoiled into NVEnergy's electric cables, causing an arc that temporarily knocked out the power. The communications cables were moved out of the way to allow traffic on Pyramid to pass. No power poles were pulled over as part of the incident.
