MUSKEGON, Mich. — Officials with Consumers Energy in Michigan have discovered the cause of a power outage that left about 4,500 customers in the dark on Sunday, May 7th.
The outage was caused by a goose that flew into a 72,000-volt line about a half-mile from a substation, according to Fox 17.
Willard Hill caught the incident on his dash camera and posted it to Facebook, where it’s been viewed more than 50,000 times.
