Nearly 3,600 people were left without power due to the crash, according to the Dominion Power website.
Lucy Riley lives in one of the condos.
"We heard a boom and saw a flash. Then we heard cops giving a command of some sort, but we always hear sirens around here. So, it wasn’t a big deal,” Riley said.
