DALTON Roughly 1,400 First Energy customers lost power temporarily after a vehicle went off state Route 94 and hit a utility pole Friday night.
According to a report by the Highway Patrol, the driver of the 2019 Chevy Suburban was heading north near Rudy Road north of Dalton when she either fell asleep or temporarily blacked out and went off the right side of the road.
There was no damage to the pole, but the impact disconnected the main power line, causing the line to fall on the vehicle and ignite it.
The occupants were able to escape and avoid major injuries.
Emergency personnel from the East Wayne Fire Department arrived to find the car on fire.

Fort Wayne police and fire departments Tuesday issued a joint release outlining initiatives for the new year, including FWPD s goal of adding 100 body cameras to an existing 20.
In order to maintain the department at 480 sworn officers, FWPD will hold a 21st Lateral Class this year, hiring officers certified through other law enforcement agencies, the Tuesday release said. Currently, the department has 468 sworn officers, according to Sofia Rosales-Scatena, FWPD public information spokesperson.
Two new social workers are budgeted for FWPD s Hope and Recovery Team known as HART that visits people who overdosed on drugs. And there are plans to expand FWPD s partnership with Fort Wayne United s TenPoint Coalition, an initiative targeting certain high crime areas with citizen patrols.
