A vehicle versus utility pole accident early Sunday morning on Penchem Road in Todd County injured the driver and knocked out power to hundreds for several hours.
Todd County Sheriff’s Deputy Derrick Baumann investigated and determined 22-year old Michael Kushner of Elkton went off the roadway for unknown reasons and struck the pole, causing it to come down.
Kushner was stuck inside his vehicle when officers arrived because of lines on the car.
He would eventually be taken by EMS to Tennova Health Hospital in Clarksville for a laceration to his head.
Pennyrile Electric Crews were dispatched to restore power in the area and had to turn off members in the Allensville area to make the repairs safely.
In all, about 557 members were without power.
Brent Gilkey with Pennyrile expected the repairs to be complete by about 9 a.m.
