The accident knocked out power to as many as 1,500 JCP&L customers, but was just about fully restored around 7 a.m., according to the utility's website.

Traffic continues being detoured around the crash from Tiller Lane through the Drum Point Little League Sports Complex back onto Cherry Quay Road, according to Pedersen.
