Crash on City Park Ave Causes Portsmouth Power Outage [Portsmouth, VA]

A crash on City Park Ave in Portsmouth Thursday evening left significant disruption in its wake, causing a widespread power outage after one of the vehicles involved collided with a light pole. According to Portsmouth Police, the incident involved two vehicles at approximately 6:48 p.m..
According to Dominion’s outage map, the accident led to power outages for approximately 544 Dominion Energy customers. As of 9:45 p.m., crews were actively working at the scene to assess the extent of the damage, with the restoration of power expected between 11 p.m. and 2 a.m.
A photo captured by a local resident highlights the scale of the crash and the damage inflicted on nearby infrastructure. Although authorities have not yet provided updates on any injuries, accidents of this nature often leave victims grappling with both immediate and long-term consequences.
Potential Compensation at Stake for Victims
In cases involving vehicular accidents, victims may be entitled to various types of compensation depending on the circumstances. This includes medical expenses for injuries sustained, vehicle repairs or replacement costs, and compensation for lost wages if the accident impacts their ability to work. Additionally, victims may pursue damages for emotional distress, pain, and suffering resulting from the traumatic experience.
Property damage compensation also comes into play, particularly when public or private infrastructure—such as the light pole in this case—is damaged. Beyond these tangible losses, indirect costs, such as increased insurance premiums, may also burden those involved. Understanding these nuances is essential for victims seeking justice and fair compensation.
