(Update 11:53 a.m.) – Mosaic Life Care said power is back on to all areas after a car crashed into an electrical pole on Riverside Tuesday.

Shortly before 11:40 a.m. the hospital reported that Plaza 1, 2 & 3 along with some offsite clinics were without power due to a car hitting an electrical pole on Riverside Road.

Power was then reported by the hospital to be fully restored about 14 minutes later.

Mosaic said the main hospital had no interruption of power. Also, it said patient care was not affected. Operations were on alternate power sources.

Around 12 p.m. KCP&L’s Power Outage map showed more than 800 customers without power in between Riverside Road and N. Belt Highway and Frederick and 36 Highway.  By 12:02 p.m. the map showed power restored to nearly everyone in that area.
