Crow causes power outage in Truro area

The Nova Scotia Power headquarters is seen in Halifax on Thursday, Nov. 29, 2018.

About 11,000 homes and businesses in and around Truro were briefly without power on Friday afternoon after a crow flew into a transmission line.

A spokesperson for Nova Scotia Power said it was the second crow-related outage in the province on Friday.

The outage was initially attributed to "wildlife interference" on the utility's outage map.

Power was fully restored by 5 p.m.
