More than 4,000 people in a Seattle suburb lost power on Friday
after a woman driving naked crashed her car into a utility pole,
police said.
There were live power wires down on the car when a police
sergeant came across the crash scene in Shoreline, just north of
Seattle, around 1:30 a.m., said Detective Jason Houck, a
spokesman for the King County Sheriff's Department.
Firefighters and utility crews disabled the wires and found a 24-
year-old woman inside the car who was in and out of
consciousness, he said.
She was not wearing any clothes, he said. The woman, who was not
badly injured, was taken to a hospital where blood was drawn to
determine if she was driving under the influence of drugs or
alcohol, Houck said.
She could face criminal charges depending on the outcome of the
test.
The crash knocked out power to about 4,400 people for about four
hours, Houck said.
Seattle City Light had power restored by about 5:30 a.m., the
utility said.
"Many people didn't know until they woke up late for work
because their alarms didn't go off," Houck said.
