RALEIGH, N.C. — Crews worked quickly overnight to restore power after a tree fell on power lines in Raleigh.

Around 750 customers were without power for one hour after a tree fell on Saint Mary's Street near Glenwood South before 2 a.m.

The Raleigh Police Department and crews from Duke Energy worked to make repairs.

Less than an hour later, only a handful were still in the dark. Nobody was injured, and the damage was minor, officials said.
