A crash in Linn County on Wednesday night knocked out power, with the driver still missing.
The Linn County Sheriff’s Office says their deputies, along with Sheriff’s Rescue, Central City Fire Department and Center Point Ambulance, were called to a report of a single vehicle accident southeast of Central City in the 4300 block of Boy Scouts Road around 6:30 pm.
According to the Sheriff’s Office, a black Chevy Silverado was traveling north and left the road – striking a powerline pole, rolling and coming to rest in a grassy field.
Witnesses report the driver of the vehicle left the scene on foot before responders arrived. Deputies searched the area, but the driver wasn’t found.
Alliant Energy was called to fix the powerline pole, with power restored to the area a few hours after the crash.
The crash remains under investigation.
