POWER KNOCKED OUT TO THOUSANDS

PG&E crews are working to restore electricity to the remaining customers in southeast Bakersfield who lost their lights when a car crashed into a power pole.

Thursday morning’s accident at Sandra Drive and Planz Road destroyed the pole and initially knocked out the power to more than 2,000 customers. The last 130 should have everything back by 8:00a.m.
