OGDEN, Utah (ABC4) — Approximately 4,500 houses are without power in Ogden Thursday, according to Rocky Mountain Power.

Rocky Mountain Power officials said they are aware of a power outage affecting around 4,500 customers in northern Utah. While officials initially said they expected it to be fixed within about four and a half hours, they are now reporting the estimated time of restoration to be around 6:30 a.m. Friday, more than thirteen hours after the outage was announced.

Officials say a car crash caused the outage after a vehicle struck a pole taking down multiple power lines.

Rocky Mountain Power encourages those affected by power outages to report them to the company by texting OUT to 759677. Customers can also report an outage or check their status online.
