A few Saxton Street residents were without power for a short time this morning after a car hit a set of guy wires on Saxton near High Street around 10:15 a.m.
The driver of the vehicle said a carton of eggs slid off her seat as she turned the corner and when she reached for them, she hit the guy wires.
Lockport Police and Fire departments responded, as did NYSEG. The driver was reportedly cited for failure to keep right.

The utility company now says power should be restored by 10 p.m.
No power outages have been reported in East Niagara aside from the 78 in the city, but the National Weather Service says the worst of the wind is yet to hit us. Gusts of up to 60 mph are still expected this evening and overnight in the Lockport area, meaning more tree limbs are expected to fall and even more power outages are expected to occur.
The high wind warning put into effect by the National Weather Service remains in effect until 1 p.m. Friday.
