SANDUSKY, Ohio (AP) — A power outage at an amusement park in Ohio left riders stranded on some of its roller coasters and other rides.
A spokesman for Cedar Point in Sandusky says the outage Monday afternoon was caused by a car that hit a utility pole.
Crews were able to restore power within about two hours.
We’re currently experiencing a power outage in a portion of the park. Ohio Edison is currently addressing this and will restore power as quickly as possible. Thanks for your patience!

Photos shared on social media by people at the park along Lake Erie show riders stuck on a train going up the 300-foot tall Millennium Force roller coaster.
Park employees were helping people off the rides.
