LUCERNE, Calif. – Many residents of the Lucerne area continued to be impacted overnight by a power outage that began Tuesday morning in the wake of a vehicle crash involving a power pole.
Late on Tuesday, Pacific Gas and Electric said approximately 273 customers – in the north end of the town – continued to be impacted by the outage, first reported at approximately 11:11 a.m.
The outage began at the same time as a Chevy Silverado pickup hit a power pole at Highway 20 and First Avenue, snapping it in two, as Lake County News has reported.
Originally, more than 2,800 customers from Lucerne to Glenhaven and Kelseyville were impacted, according to PG&E.
A number of customers – including many in Lucerne – began having their power restored at about 2 p.m.
However, the pole replacement took time and PG&E said it anticipated the remaining customers not having their power back on until 9 a.m. Wednesday.
