LEE COUNTY, Fla. —
A sailboat crashed into a power line in San Carlos Bay, causing a power surge Wednesday evening.
According to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission, a 42-foot sailboat with two occupants hit a power line in San Carlos Bay. The boat sustained minor damage, and the occupants were uninjured.
The Lee County Electric Cooperative said the boat struck the power line at 5:49 p.m., which caused the line to be de-energized.
