More than 500 Toledo Edison customers were without power late Friday and a stretch of Bancroft Street remained closed after a crash.

No injuries were reported. Police blocked Bancroft between Clinton Street and Upton Avenue.

The crash, reported about 8:50 p.m., knocked a transformer to the pavement, authorities said. A utility pole leaned at a 45-degree angle over Bancroft.

Toledo Edison crews were on the scene and making repairs.
