Half of the Village of Le Roy about to lose power after accident on Lake Street Road

By Howard B. Owens

About half the Village of Le Roy will lose power for up to a half hour while crews work on downed power lines along Lake Street Road near Orcon Industries.

About 35 minutes ago, a Waste Management truck coming through the area hit power lines and pulled them down. Before crews could get in place to shut down traffic, more trucks came through the area and pulled down more lines, according to Le Roy Police Chief Chris Hayward.

Le Roy fire and Le Roy PD along with National Grid are on scene.

UPDATE 4:59 p.m.: National Grid has control of the scene now. Le Roy fire is back in service.
