Power has been restored after an outage centered in Little Rock's Hillcrest neighborhood affected more than 2,200 Entergy customers Sunday morning.
Service was restored about 8:15 a.m., around two hours after it went out.
An Entergy spokesman said the cause of the outage wasn't clear. Officials received a report of a car striking a pole, but no damage was found. The lineman "reclosed the circuit" and power was restored, spokesman Kerri Jackson Case said in an email.
"It's possible a car hit a pole as was originally reported to us, and caused the lines to slap together and open the circuit, and then the car drove off because there wasn't significant damage," Case wrote. "That's happened in the past. But we honestly can't say for sure."
