A driver in a van headed east on Pike Street near the Anchor Grill apparently lost control of the vehicle and crashed into a utility pole slicing it in half before continuing on through the fence next to Turner Hall. The driver then fled the scene but was arrested by Covington Police on the 300 block of Twelfth Street. His name was not available right away, but police tell The River City News that the driver did not have a license. There was also no available information on whether the driver was impaired at the time of the crash.

Meanwhile, power was knocked out on the block where an Ameristop, a Mexican restaurant, and a laundromat operate and the transmitter at the auto dealer near the interstate just a couple blocks away exploded in a loud boom. Duke Energy crews are on the scene attempting to restore power and to make the block safe for drivers and pedestrians. At the time of this posting, traffic is shut down in both directions, though police are working to open at least one lane soon.
