TARRANT COUNTY (CBSDFW.COM) - A utility crew is working to remove a power pole that fell onto a home in Forest Hill.

No one was injured when the pole and line went down, but several customers in the area were left without power. There were downed electrical lines in the street and police blocked off the area around the house.

Officials with Oncor later determined the pole fell after a driver ran over and snapped at least one of the wires supporting the pole.
