Hundreds of residents in the El Cajon area were left without power Tuesday morning after a vehicle crashed into a power pole, splitting it in half, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The crash happened just after midnight on North Second Street near Adobe Lane. When CHP officers arrived, they found the damaged power pole hanging by wires, according to the online CHP log.
More than 1,100 customers in the Bostonia, Granite Hills and East El Cajon areas were left without power, according to the San Diego Gas & Electric online outage map. Power was expected to be restored around noon.
No additional details were immediately available.
Road closures were in place along Second Street between Adobe Lane and Pepper Drive for an unknown duration as crews work to fix the pole and restore power to homes in the neighborhood, the CHP said.
