Boone County Electric Cooperative crews restored power for more than 2,000 customers in south Columbia on Thursday.

The electric co-op tweeted the outage was caused by a truck crash with a power pole near Route K and Vermillion Drive. The tweet said power could have been shut off for four hours. Crews tweeted again around 3 p.m. power had been restored.

Crews are killing power to transfer the lines to the new pole. Outage should last about an hour.
