Power has been restored in a southwest Miami-Dade neighborhood after residents said a car crash sparked flames and an hours-long power outage on Sunday morning.
The crash happened in the area of Southwest 9th Street and 87th Avenue. Video showed the damaged car after it collided with the power pole, and a large fire nearby.
Residents of the Gallowood Condominiums in the area told NBC6 that power was knocked out around 3 a.m. and restored hours later.
Neighbor Adrian Gonzalez said he rushed out of his home after hearing the loud crash. Several witnesses said the impact brought down power lines onto nearby trees, which then burst into flames.
