LUCERNE, Calif. – A vehicle crash on Wednesday on Highway 20 in Lucerne resulted in damage to power equipment and a park fence, and led to temporary traffic hangups.
The crash occurred on Wednesday morning, according to Paul Moreno of Pacific Gas and Electric Co.
He said a vehicle hit and damaged a utility pole, but power remained on except for a momentary outage at 11:14 a.m.
The pole was located between Ninth and 10th Avenue. Traffic control was in place in the area while the repairs took place.
Moreno said crews responded and finished pole replacements on Wednesday afternoon.
In addition to the damaged pole, the crash took out a large portion of the wooden fence surrounding the playground at Lucerne Harbor Park across the highway.
Public Services Director Lars Ewing said that the county will get the police report and driver's insurance information in order to get reimbursed for repairing the damage to the park fence, which he said is standard procedure when dealing with such accidents.
