1,500 Lose Electricity After Van Strikes Pole
FULLERTON —
A van struck a power pole Wednesday and caused an electrical outage that affected 1,500 Southern California Edison customers, police said.
About 12:30 p.m., a 31-year-old man driving a moving van veered into a power pole at Brookhurst Street and Orangethorpe Avenue, causing the outage, authorities said.
The driver was not injured, nor was he cited, Police Investigator Lorraine Jones said.
Edison spokesman Steven Conroy said power was restored within 30 minutes for most of the customers affected.
