A car crash downed power lines, closed a road and plunged parts of northwest Harris County into darkness. Around 11:30 p.m., several vehicles crashed into each other and forced one into a power line on Veteran Memorial Drive between Beltway 8 and Gears Road, Lt. Lisa Strong of the Harris County Sheriff’s Office told On Scene reporters. No one was injured in the crash. The falling power line also brought down several other power lines across the road, which resulted in a power outage to the neighborhood and businesses nearby. As of around 6 a.m., about 140 residents were without power in northwest Harris County, according to CenterPoint’s outage map.
