Power has been restored in Sunrise after an overnight crash involving two cars knocked out electricity and left a major intersection closed on Saturday.It happened at University Drive and Northwest 25th Court, where two vehicles were badly damaged. Police tape remained in place around the intersection, with debris scattered across the roadway and into the nearby Shell gas station.Authorities said least one of the cars reportedly struck a utility pole, knocking out power to the area. As many as 33,700 customers were reported without electricity following the crash.Florida Power & Light officials said crews restored power about 90 minutes later, but crews remained at the scene Saturday morning as authorities continued their investigation.The intersection remained shut down from University Drive toward Sunset Strip, causing significant traffic backups and delays.
Drivers were navigating through the nearby plaza to get around the closure.Authorities urged drivers in the area to seek alternate routes while the investigation and cleanup continued. .l10-neighborhood, .l10-neighborhood * { box-sizing: border-box; } .l10-neighborhood{ --blue-dark:#0d2c73; --blue:#1f57c4; --blue-light:#3370e6; --gray-bg:#f2f3f5; --gray-border:#d6d8dc; --text-dark:#1a1a1a; --white:#ffffff; font-family:system-ui,-apple-system,"Segoe UI",Roboto,Arial,sans-serif; max-width:860px; margin:1.5rem auto; border-radius:10px; overflow:hidden; border:1px solid var(--gray-border); background:var(--gray-bg); box-shadow:0 4px 14px rgba(0,0,0,.12); text-align:center; } .l10-head{ background:linear-gradient(90deg,var(--blue-dark),var(--blue)); color:var(--white); padding:12px 16px; font-weight:800; text-transform:uppercase; font-size:1rem; letter-spacing:.3px; display:flex; justify-content:center; align-items:center; gap:8px; } .l10-body{ max-width:740px; margin:0 auto; padding:0 16px 18px; } .l10-sub{ margin:12px 0 10px; font-size:.95rem; color:var(--text-dark); font-weight:500; text-align:center; } .l10-grid{ display:grid; grid-template-columns:1fr; gap:12px; } @media (min-width:600px){ .l10-grid{ grid-template-columns:repeat(3,1fr); } } .nb-btn{ display:grid; place-items:center; text-align:center; line-height:1; width:100%; min-height:48px; padding:10px; border-radius:8px; text-decoration:none; font-weight:800; text-transform:uppercase; font-size:.95rem; background:linear-gradient(180deg,var(--blu… The news isn’t good as far as our holiday weekend forecast is concerned, with showers and storms likely each day.
If you’re looking for some dry times for your outdoor activities, I’d plan on mornings being better than the afternoon hours through the weekend.Although no widespread severe weather is expected, I do expect several inches of rain under some of the heavier storms, mainly between 2 p.m. We’ll see highs getting into the lower 90s each day before those afternoon storms roll in.It’ll be tough to squeeze those backyard barbecues in this weekend, but hopefully, you’ll be able to enjoy some of that dry time in the morning.We’re coming up on the statistical peak of hurricane season next week, but all is quiet in the tropics through the next seven days.
