Ninety-five percent of the town of Chaplin is without power after a tree came down and took out a power line across Route 6, according to a spokesperson for Eversource.
Neighbors said the wire caught fire and cut power to traffic lights. According to Eversource, more than 1,200 people are without power in the area.
Crews from the power company are heading to the scene to make repairs. They expect to have the lights back on around 10 p.m.
