In 2005 a tractor trailer accident resulted in a power outage when the driver hit a distribution pole guy wire belonging to Dominion Virginia Power near Port Nofolk, Virginia. Dominion claims that the outage damaged the company’s distribution facilities on Chautauqua Avenue and at transmission systems elsewhere.
The driver of the truck, Edward L. Knight, could not be reached for comment and is being sued by Dominion for over $250,000 in a suit filed on January 12, 2009. A Dominion spokesman claims that the company suffers many losses from accidents like these, and it is standard practice for them to try to recover their losses from those at fault.
According to Dominion’s spokesperson, they are only trying to restore their system to its original state.
