LAKEPORT, Calif. – A crash early Tuesday knocked down a power pole, with a power outage reported shortly afterward.
Just before 12:45 a.m. firefighters were dispatched to 1095 Big Valley Road for a report of a minor-vehicle crash involving a power pole, according to radio reports.
The crash also was reported to have resulted in a small vegetation fire due to downed lines.
When firefighters arrived on scene, they found the driver had minor injuries and that the pole was knocked down, radio reports indicated.
At about the same time as the crash occurred, Pacific Gas and Electric Co.'s online outage center reported that power was out to approximately 2,411 customers in the Lakeport and Kelseyville areas, with crews en route to evaluate.
