Traffic stopped and power out at Cape San Blas after Saturday accident

Power was out for a part of Cape San Blas on Saturday after a car accident damaged a power pole.
The highway patrol said 63 year old Donald Merrifield of Laurel Hill was heading east of 30A just before 2 o’clock on Saturday when he became ill.
He lost consciousness while pulling over to the side of the road and his Ford F-150 hit a power pole, leaving the power lines unsecured.
Luckily Mister Merrifield was uninjured in the crash, but 30A had to be shut down while Duke Energy repaired the pole and re-secured the power lines.

The roadway was reopened at about 7:30 Saturday evening.
