A stolen truck crashed into a pole and knocked out power for about 1,400 Dayton Power and Light customers in the Trotwood area early this morning.

Power was restored to all but 750 customers by 5 a.m., according to DP&L.

There were no reports of injuries, but initial information indicates the driver fled the scene.
