A wind turbine in Grand Étang didn’t make it through the night during high winds.

Nova Scotia Power hasn’t confirmed the cause of the failure of the wind turbine in Cape Breton, but wind speeds in the area reached over 160 km/h overnight on Tuesday and a mix of icy rain fell.

An investigation is being conducted to discover the cause of the failure.
