A single-car collision with a Machias utility pole sent one man to the hospital and shut off the power to almost 300 Machias meters on the evening of Sunday, May 28.

Across local social media, shoppers shared photos of empty refrigerated shelves at the Hannaford Machias which lost power due to the accident. Shelves were beginning to be restocked on Monday, May 30.
