RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — A power outage at the Raleigh headquarters of the N.C. Division of Motor Vehicles has disrupted the agency's services.

DMV spokeswoman Marge Howell said Thursday the electricity went out at the building on New Bern Avenue shortly after 11 a.m.

Computer systems used to conduct DMV services at locations statewide have been affected. Howell said work to restore the agency's power supply is expected to last through Thursday night.
