A major power outage had approximately 5,000 Elexicon Energy customers in Durham Region in the dark late Wednesday.
It says the outage was due to loss of Hydro One supply in Ajax after a car crash.
Power was out in parts of Pickering, Ajax, Oshawa, and Whitby, and it worked with Hydro One and Oshawa Power to resolve the situation.
Traffic lights were out in some areas as well.
The power was restored just before midnight.
