TAYLORSVILLE — Two people are injured and many are left without power after a car crashed into another and hit a power pole Tuesday afternoon.
At approximately 2:33 p.m., a car ran a red light on 5400 South Canal St. and crashed into a car traveling through the intersection, according to Lt. Aaron Cheshire with the Taylorsville Police Department.
Two people were reportedly extricated out of one vehicle and were taken to a hospital to be treated for injuries. Police stated they were in stable condition.
During the crash, the cars collided with a power pole, knocking out power for an estimated 1,700 people, Cheshire said.
