The power went out for some on Martintown Road this morning, Thursday, July 11, before five a.m., which stirred one family in the Merriwether neighborhood to suspect that a tree had fallen as many have done so with the heavy rains. Indeed, a tree had fallen across the road and hit a powerline.

There was a wreck that ensued as a woman driving a vehicle hit the tree and had to be transported to the hospital.

Noted by the report: “Quite a few trees have fallen in our neighborhood recently, including our yard at 1645 Martintown Rd.”
