KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A tipster helped Kansas City, Missouri, police find a person who drove over downed power lines, resulting in an off-duty officer being shocked.

Investigators also found the man's vehicle.

Police wanted to get a statement from the driver “regarding what he may have seen prior to hitting the power lines” Saturday night in the 2800 block of Southwest Boulevard, according to a KCPD spokesperson.

The officer was working off-duty at a restaurant near 30th Street, when, according police, a different vehicle “doing donuts struck a power pole.”

The driver – not the one identified by police – left the scene, according to a witness.

Anyone with additional information is asked to call the Traffic Investigation Unit at 816-482-8189.
