La Vergne, TN – A late-night crash on Hollandale Road left hundreds without power Thursday evening after a driver collided with a power pole before fleeing the scene on foot.

According to La Vergne Police, officers responded to the single-vehicle accident near the intersection of Bill Stewart Blvd. around 10:00 p.m. Upon arrival, they found the damaged vehicle but no driver in sight.
