Piqua Area News

Power restored in northern Montgomery County

At about 11:50 Friday night, there were no reported outages in the Huber Heights area of northern Montgomery County along the border with Miami County, according to Dayton Power & Light.

"We're hoping to get everybody back before midnight," Kevin Hall, DP&L director of operations, said at about 9:30 p.m. "It looks like it's related to an underground cable."

About 100 customers lost power about 5 p.m. in an area north of Interstate 70, south of U.S. 40 and east of Ohio 202,  Hall said. That number was reduced to about 50 customers by about 9: 30 p.m.

A resident on Gardengate Drive told News Center 7 at about 8:20 p.m. that power at her home went out "right at 5 o'clock."

Flames destroy car on I-75 South

A man who had just returned from a trip received a rude homecoming Friday night when his Volkswagen caught fire and burned up on Interstate 75 South near the Grand Avenue exit.

The man, who wasn’t available for an interview, told Dayton fire crews his gas tank was pretty well full, said Firefighter Mike Rice of Engine 8.

“He just picked it up from the airport. He just got back from a trip,” Rice said the man told fire crews, who were dispatched to the area just after 7 p.m. on a report of a car fire.

The driver managed to pull the car off to the right berm of the interstate, which allowed fire crews to keep all but the right lane of traffic open.

The cause wasn’t determined, said Rice, who explained that the man told them that the fire started in the rear of the car, but the flames “pretty much engulfed the whole vehicle.”

Missing Kettering man, 78, is located

A 78-year-old Kettering man reported missing since Friday afternoon has been located.

Medics took Doai Pham to Miami Valley Hospital on Friday night for an undisclosed medical condition after Dayton police pulled his vehicle over at Wayne Avenue and Smithville Road.

Lt. Wendy Stiver said officers pulled Pham over because he was driving on a flat tire. They then discovered that his tan 2001 Toyota Camry had moderate damage from an apparent collision.

Pham, who Kettering police said is on daily medication and suffers from dementia, initially told police he had hit someone, prompting a search of the area. He later was unable to recall what happened to the car.

Neither Kettering nor Dayton police had any reports of persons or vehicles hit in the area.

Pham was reported missing earlier in the evening by his family, who said he left his home for unknown reasons at 12:30 p.m. Friday.

Kettering police are continuing to investigating the incident.
