Topanga Canyon Boulevard’s northbound and southbound lanes were reopened Monday morning after a closure spurred by a car striking a power pole.

Officers received a call about the crash on Topanga Canyon Boulevard at Entrada Road shortly before midnight on Sunday, according to California Highway Patrol Officer Tony Polizzi. Southern California Edison was notified because the incident downed a pole with exposed wires, he said.

It’s unclear whether the driver was injured.
