GRAND FORKS CO., N.D. – Drivers of two vehicles were hurt after striking a power pole which led to a power outage in Grand Forks County.
Around 7:30 Thursday morning, the Highway Patrol responded to the intersection of 34th Street and 1st Street Northeast about four miles south of Northwood.

Both vehicles went into a ditch striking a power pole.
The driver of the pickup that was struck was taken to a Northwood hospital by ambulance.
