KALAMAZOO (WKZO) It seems the biggest threat to utility lines in Kalamazoo County this weekend was wayward cars.

There was a power outage in eastern Oshtemo Township late Sunday night affecting about 15-hundred Consumers energy customers, when a car reportedly went out of control and struck a utility pole on N. Drake.   Power was restored earlier this morning.  No word on the condition of the driver.

Slick roads are being blamed for causing a one car crash that shut down Sprinkle Road in southern Portage late yesterday afternoon.   Portage Police say a driver went out of control of his 2005 Audi and sheared off a utility pole, which then fell into the roadway.  The driver was not injured but his car is a mess.  Traffic was diverted through the residential neighborhood while utility crews removed the pole.   It only held a street light and no other utilities were affected.
