The standby crew after being immediately notified, repaired the damaged lines and installed a new pole and restored power in Airai.
PPUC officials stated that the person driving the vehicle may be held responsible for the damages to the pole and the outage to the public.
The next day another outage occurred and the PPUC responded to a scene in Ngerbeched.
The PPUC crew discovered a tree had fallen into one of the primary lines.
The crew then cleared the area and restored the line.
