A crane on a barge contacted power lines near a Cape Coral canal Tuesday morning, Carson Zorn reported for Gulf Coast News.
Zorn reported that the Cape Coral Fire Department placed the incident in the 3900 block of Southwest 1st Place. Lee County Electric Cooperative crews were working on repairs, and the utility map showed 170 customers without power at 9:42 a.m. The outlet reported no injuries.
No public fire department release for the incident was available on the city or department sites.
The morning peak had passed
A later countywide outage check showed 68 Lee County customers without power. That total was below the 170 customers reported during the morning incident, but it does not establish when service was restored to the specific area.
No active safety order or continuing hazard was confirmed by publication time, so this recap does not carry a breaking flag.
