BOTHELL, Wash. 鈥� At one point, more than 900 residents were without power overnight after police say a car crashed into two power poles in downtown Bothell.
Power was restored Friday morning.
According to Bothell PD, a man in his 50s was arrested on suspicion of DUI around 7 p.m. on Thursday. The silver sedan he was driving was left crushed along Bothell Way Northeast, shutting down the roadway from 185th to 191st Street in both directions as crews worked to clear the scene.
Police say the sedan was the only car involved in the crash, but they did not say what led up to it. The driver was able to get himself out before being taken into custody.
鈥淚 was pretty surprised because I thought that big of damage would鈥檝e blown up the car and got him,鈥� said witness Jonathan Rojas. 鈥淚 heard a big thump, l looked to my left, and I saw the lights going down… and then there was a big zap and it started smoking. I looked and was like, 鈥極h my goodness鈥�, then I ran out of the building outside.鈥�
