Hundreds of APS customers without power after separate outages in the Valley

ABC15 Arizona · last updated

PHOENIX — Hundreds of residents are without power tonight on one of the hottest days of the year in the Valley.

APS is reporting about 350 customers are without power in parts of north Phoenix and Scottsdale.

Over 200 customers are in the dark in Scottsdale near Hayden Road and Shea Boulevard after APS says a fuse blew out in the area.

Then near 7th Avenue north of Dunlap Avenue, a car crashed into a power pole, knocking out power for roughly 150 customers.

There were no reported injuries in the crash.

APS estimates that the Scottsdale customers will have power back around 9:30 p.m., while those in the dark in north Phoenix may not have power until 10:30.

The National Weather Service says Phoenix hit a high temperature of 116º on Wednesday.
