LAKEPORT — Pacific Gas & Electric customers along Soda Bay road were without power for about 12 hours Sunday after a car struck a power pole, according to PG&E spokesman David Eisenhauer.
The blackout affected 450 customers, Eisenhauer said. More than half had power restored by 3:30 a.m., and all but two customers had power back on by 12:05 p.m., Eisenhauer said. All power was restored by 1:46, he added.
“A car crashed into a power pole. It looks like a transformer was damaged,” Eisenhauer said. The accident happened at the intersection of Soda Bay Road and Waldo Lane, where Soda Bay Road turns at a 90-degree angle.
