Two neighbourhoods are in the dark due to power outages this morning.

About 1600 customers are affected by an outage in Highfield Park because of a car vehicle accident.

Nova Scotia Power says the electricity stopped at about 5:40 a.m. and it should return by 8:45 a.m.

Another 1600 customers are affected along the Halifax harbour from Hollis Street to Point Pleasant Park. That outage started at about 5:25 a.m. and should be restored around 9:30 a.m.

Nova Scotia Power says it was caused by a transmission interruption.

As of 7:45 a.m., a third smaller outage is affecting about 260 customers near Spencer Avenue by Long Lake, and the cause is being investigated.
