May 04, 2023FAYETTE TWP. — A damaged power pole supporting the main power transmission lines into the city of Jonesville is to blame for a wide-spread power outage.
Most of Fayette Township and all of the city of Jonesville lost power just before noon Friday, June 2.
A 911 caller reported a transformer on fire on North Bunn Road just north of U.S. 12 minutes later, but when the Jonesville Fire Department arrived on the scene, they found a support cross-member of a tall power pole had broken and was dangling approximately 50 feet in the air.
Consumers Power crews arrived at the location by 12:45 p.m. Friday and began assessing the damage.
The outage caused at least one car crash in Jonesville when two vehicles collided due to no power to the traffic signals in town. No injuries were reported in the crash, but traffic backed up during the ordeal.
Consumers Energy's Outage Map estimated power restoration by 5 p.m. June 2.
