A collision late Wednesday evening has left almost 2,000 people in Southdale without power. 

The crash broke a hydro pole in half, and crews have been working around the clock to get the pole fixed and power up and running.

As a result of the power outage, several traffic signals along St. Mary's Road from Fermor to Abinoji Mikanah are not working. Motorists are encouraged to treat those intersections as all-way stops and proceed with caution.

"We’ve been working overnight to replace it, but there’s still more work to do," said Manitoba Hydro in a post on social media. 

Power is expected to be restored by 10:30 a.m.
