Michael Kirven sent us a message about the crash. Kilmer caught up with him at the scene where he told her, "I was sound asleep, and I heard it. It was around 3 and I heard what I thought might be an M-80 or transformer blowing and felt something. I said, 'Wow, what was that? Everything was dark, and I looked outside and there was a bunch of people around.'"
The crash knocked out power to more than 2,000 customers. West Penn Power workers are on the scene and have restored power to the majority of those impacted.
The remaining 500 customers are expected to have their power restored by noon Tuesday.
