Power mostly restored after truck strikes power line in Mississauga crash

Two people are injured after a crash in Mississauga on Monday morning that temporarily left hundreds without power.

Emergency crews responded to a two-vehicle crash near Dixie Road and Meyerside Drive around 9:30 a.m.

Police say one of the vehicles hit a power line and knocked out power in the area. Images from the scene show a large truck on its side near a damaged utility pole.

Two males were taken to hospital, one with serious injuries and the other with minor injuries.

Alectra initially said the outage was impacting around 1,000 homes and businesses in the area bounded by Dixie, Britannia Road, Atlantic Drive and Tomken Road.

Crews have been dispatched and the utility company posted an update in the early afternoon saying power had mostly been restored.

Southbound Dixie is closed from Courtneypark Drive to Shawson Drive for the investigation. Police say the road will be closed for “an extended period.”
