California 150 Closed After Truck Hits Pole

California 150, the main route between Ojai and Santa Barbara, was closed Thursday afternoon at Santa Ana Road near Lake Casitas after a truck hit a power pole and may remain closed until midmorning today, a California Highway patrol spokesman said.

Crews were called out to clear telephone and live electrical wires from the highway. Motorists may detour around the problem by taking Santa Ana Road, which connects to California 33, and then taking the Ventura Freeway, the CHP said.
