KINGSVILLE - At approximately 12:32 p.m. Monday, a public eighteen-wheeler struck a utility pole, causing significant damage to our electric infrastructure. The impact brought down three additional poles, damaged four crossarms and downed power lines, resulting in an outage affecting approximately 2,300 customers.

Crews responded immediately and restored power to approximately 1,700 customers by 1:22 p.m.

At 4 p.m., about 600 customers remain without service.

Due to the extent of the damage, repairs are expected to take several more hours to complete. Customers still affected can anticipate power restoration by approximately 10 p.m. or sooner. We appreciate your patience as our crews work safely and as quickly as possible to restore service to all remaining customers. Thank you for your understanding. #WeAreAEPTexas

Aproximadamente a las 12:32 p. m., un camión de gran tonelaje chocó contra un poste de servicios públicos, causando daños considerables a nuestra infraestructura eléctrica. El impacto derribó tres postes adicionales, dañó cuatro crucetas y tiró líneas eléctricas, provocando un corte de energía que afectó a unos 2300 clientes.

Nuestras cuadrillas acudieron de inmediato y restablecieron el servicio a aproximadamente 1700 clientes para la 1:22 p. m. En este momento, cerca de 600 clientes permanecen sin servicio.

Debido a la magnitud de los daños, se prevé que las reparaciones requieran varias horas más para completarse. Los clientes aún afectados pueden esperar que se restablezca el servicio alrededor de las 10:00 p. m.

Agradecemos su paciencia mientras nuestras cuadrillas trabajan de manera segura y lo más rápido posible para restablecer el servicio a todos los clientes restantes. Gracias por su comprensión. #SomosAEPTexas
