UPDATE: Residents to remain without power, internet after oversize load strike

MIDLAND COUNTY, Texas (KMID/KPEJ) – Update: According to an update from the Greenwood Volunteer Fire Department, Oncor is continuing to work to restore electricity.

GVFD added AT&T is also working to restore service in the area. However, since the poles were a loss, service likely won’t be back up until Wednesday, August 21.

Some residents may be without electricity or service from AT&T as crew work to clean up after an oversize load caused power lines to be pulled down.

The Midland Fire Department said it responded at about 9:23 a.m. on Tuesday, August 20 to the incident at FM 307 and Interstate 20. The fallen lines were found draped across another vehicle with an occupant inside.

MFD said Oncor is working to cut power and address the situation. The Greenwood Volunteer Fire Department said AT&T is also down, along with Greenwood internet. No injuries were reported.
