Police are looking for a pickup that struck an Evergy pole and caused a power outage in part of central Salina early this morning.

The pickup was southbound on S. Ohio Street at approximately 12:10 a.m. Thursday when it made a wide turn onto E. Crawford Street and struck the power pole, Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester said this morning. The wreck caused a power outage in the immediate area.

Forrester said that surveillance video from the area showed a white or silver Chevrolet Silverado pickup leaving the scene. Parts of the pickup left at the scene indicate that it possibly is a 2003-2006 model. The pickup should have extensive front-end damage, Forrester said.
