A 37 year old female from Niverville has been charged following a collision in that community Wednesday morning which eventually led to a planned power outage.

Police report a car driven by the woman struck a hydro pole on Main Street at Fourth Avenue shortly after four o'clock. The driver and lone occupant was not injured. However, she now faces charges of Driving an Unregistered Vehicle, Disobeying a Traffic Control Device and Taking a Motor Vehicle Without Consent.

Police say there is no evidence to suggest the driver was impaired at the time of the collision.

The investigation continues.

Manitoba Hydro had to cut service to 1,169 residents Wednesday morning to accommodate repairs.
