Firefighters responded to the wreck near the intersection of Tennent Road and Wooleytown Road at around 7:30 a.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 1, the Morganville Fire Department said in a Facebook post.

When crews arrived, they found a car on its roof with airbags deployed. A utility pole was broken and wires were lying in the road.

Everyone inside the car got out of it safely and there were no injuries reported. Jersey Central Power & Light crews responded to the scene to fix the wires.

The JCP&L outage website said fewer than 20 customers remained without power as of press time.

"Due to the complexity of the repairs, additional resources are required to safely restore power to your area.," the website said. "They will be dispatched as quickly as possible."

Service was estimated to be restored by 5 p.m.
