Accident Results In Power Outage

January 30, 2025 Steve Schwaller

(Sheldon)– An accident Wednesday morning involving a semi left some homes and businesses in Sheldon in the dark for awhile. Geoff Greenwood of MidAmerican Energy says the incident took place around 10:00 am…

“A semi truck that apparently was turning around or moving in a lot had struck a pole right in front of the Sheldon Livestock building, that’s on D Street. The incident knocked out power to 662 customers. They’re mostly in the Sheldon area, there were some customers just outside of Sheldon who lost power as well.”

Greenwood says most of the affected customers had power restored within about 40 to 45 minutes.
