Garbage Truck Hits Utility Pole, Causes Power Outage in Hollywood

Officials say a South Florida neighborhood lost power after a garbage truck crashed into utility poles, causing one to fall onto a building.

News outlets report that the crash occurred Monday morning in Hollywood.

Police posted photos on social media showing a power pole leaning against a duplex's roof. The base of another pole is shown broken next to a large pool of water.

Officials didn't immediately say what caused the crash.

Florida Power & Light says more than 2,000 customers were left briefly without electricity. Most had power restored within a few hours.
