Power restored for all customers after car struck power pole in Roseville, causing outage
Power was restored Monday afternoon for nearly 200 Pacific Gas and Electric customers following an outage caused by an early-morning vehicle collision that downed a power pole and closed a stretch of Sierra College Boulevard in Roseville.
Roseville police said on Twitter that a non-injury collision at about 1:20 a.m. knocked down the power pole, shutting down both directions of the street between East Roseville Parkway and Old Auburn Road.
Customers in Roseville and Granite Bay were without power on Monday morning, PG&E said, and power was fully restored to all customers by 3 p.m.
Portions of one northbound lane of Sierra College Boulevard were closed throughout the day as PG&E crews worked on repairs.
Roseville Police Department spokesman Rob Baquera said that all lanes of Sierra College Boulevard were slated to be reopened by the end of the day.
PG&E officials said that the pole involved in the collision had to be replaced and wire had to be restrung across the road.
