DOTHAN:     11:19 PM    Dothan Utilities have multiple trucks and manpower in the 500 block of South Appletree Street working to restore power.

At 9:11 PM Dothan Police 911 dispatched Dothan Police - Dothan Fire - EMS to a motor vehicle accident with injuries, reports of a vehicle verses utility pole, power lines down.

Dothan arrived and confirmed the accident and power lines.

A member of Dothan - Houston County Emergency Management was responding to a motor vehicle accident with vehicle on fire in Webb. As EMA was sitting at Main and Museum they reported to Dothan 911 a transformer blew there. Moments later 911 received reports of the motor vehicle accident on South Appletree Street.

So the transformer  explosion was actually was the vehicle struck the power pole on South Appletree Street.

It is 11:25 PM. It is 55 degrees outside. And multiple Dothan Utility crews are working has hard and fast as they can to get the power restored.

IN WEBB - HWY. 52 AND BEN IVEY ROAD   

The single motor vehicle accident on Highway 52 East at Ben Ivey Road. It was actually a rolling domestic where the driver was alleged to be committing domestic violence on his mother. Reports are he threw his mother from the moving vehicle. Afterwards the subject struck a utility pole.

As Webb Police Officer Robert Jones arrived bystanders pointed to him the suspect going east on Highway 52 on foot. The car was also on fire but no one was in the vehicle.

Officer Jones and Houston County Sheriff Deputy Sgt. Adam Zey wrestled with the suspect and took him into custody.

Because of this suspect's action, Centurylink is having to reset a utility pole. If your phone service in that area is out that is the reason. Centurylink will be resetting that pole and restoring service tonight.
