A hit-and-run occurred at about 1 p.m. Monday afternoon on Grand Ave. between Euclid and Jefferson in Monte Vista. A driver reportedly struck a power pole as well as a fence, pole and trash cans in front of a residence and left the scene. Monte Vista Police Department and Monte Vista Fire Department secured the area due to downed power lines until the power could be turned off. About five residences in the area were temporarily without power while Xcel completed repairs. The full cost of the incident was unknown at press time but Xcel estimated the cost to remove and replace the damaged pole to be over $1,000. Nobody appeared to be injured in the incident.
