RANSHAW - A dump truck accidentally knocked out power to more than 500 PPL customers in Coal Township's east end Wednesday morning.

The outage occurred at 8:26 a.m., disrupting service to 574 customers and knocking out traffic lights along Route 61. It was fully restored at 9:48 a.m., according to Teri MacBride, PPL spokeswoman.

A PPL employee near the scene said a dump truck with its box up accidentally struck a PPL power line and tripped the system, which had to be restarted.

The incident occurred on land along Route 901 across from Ranshaw, reportedly behind the businesses along Quarry Road.
