Midwest blackout triggered by auto collision

In the heart of Leipzig's West Center, a serious accident occurred on Marschner Street at around 3:15 PM on Friday afternoon. The incident involved a car that was thrown off the road, plowed over a traffic island, and crashed into a power box.

According to police, there were two people in the vehicle at the time of the accident. The driver was reportedly injured and taken to the hospital. The exact nature and severity of the driver's injuries are not specified. The Marschner Street was closed following the accident.

The power outage, which could potentially disrupt power supply in the area, may have been caused by the damage to the power box. As a result, the utility company had to shut off power in the area during the recovery process. Among the areas affected by the power outage was the nearby Aral gas station at the corner of Marschner Street / Jahnallee.

The exact duration of the power outage is not specified. The utility company referred to the outage map for more information. The larger power outage was a result of the utility company shutting off power to isolate and repair the damaged power box.

It's worth noting that the electricity supply for the area around the Aral gas station location Marschner Straße / Jahnallee in Leipzig’s West Center is provided by the local distribution network operator. Although Octopus Energy has a new service location in Leipzig, the specific grid operator responsible for electricity distribution in Leipzig is usually the local municipal utility. However, the exact supplier for that precise location isn't explicitly identified.

The outage map was used to determine the extent of the power outage, but the exact number of households affected could not be determined. The car appears to be totaled as a result of the accident.

The exact cause of the accident is not specified in the provided information. The utility company is working to restore power as soon as it is safe to do so. This incident serves as a reminder for all road users to drive safely and attentively.
