PLAQUEMINE - Plaquemine residents were in the dark Sunday night after a truck ran into a utility pole. 

City officials said the crash happened along Bayou Road near Oak Street around 8:20 p.m. 

A large part of the city lost power due to the pole having multiple feed lines, but as of 9:30 p.m. power had been mostly restored. Officials said it may take a few hours to get everyone back on. 

The Plaquemine Police chief said the driver had minor injuries and no impairment was suspected.
