A preliminary report from the THP said Dustin Elliot, 28, of Mobile, Alabama, was driving a white 2015 Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck north on South Illinois Avenue (State Route 62) when he went off the right side of the road and hit the Tennessee Valley Authority transmission tower.

A widespread power outage hit Oak Ridge Friday just before 4:30 p.m. after a pickup truck hit a TVA electrical transmission tower at the intersection of South Illinois Avenue/state Highway 62 and Union Valley Road.
Traffic was backed up for miles on South Illinois Avenue, and drivers were being redirected, according to a city of Oak Ridge news release issued at 5:47 p.m. Friday. Power was restored to parts of Oak Ridge around 5:20 p.m. and, according to the city release, electricity was expected to be restored to the rest of the city within the next two hours. The exception to the two-hour power restoration, according to the city release, would be the far southeast corner of the city, which was expected to take more time.
