Posted: Dec 19, 2008

Raleigh, N.C. — Crews worked to fix a power line and a pole in downtown Raleigh early Friday before the morning's rush hour.

The crews blocked the left lane of South Dawson Street near West Cabarrus Street for a time, but they were able to clear out of the area by 7:30 a.m.

A police officer at the scene said a car hit the pole after losing control. No one was injured.
