BRIEFLY : VEHICLE HITS POLE, KNOCKS OUT POWER.


PALMDALE - The power was back on in Palmdale on Sunday after a vehicle plowed into a utility pole, shutting out the lights on homes and businesses in a two-square-mile area, a sheriff's deputy said.

The crash happened about 7:15 p.m. Saturday on Palmdale Boulevard at 10th Place East, said sheriff's Deputy C. Osterthaler.

The driver was not injured, but a complete circuit had to be replaced after the crash, Osterthaler said. Traffic lights at 12 intersections were also knocked out for a time, he said.

It took about two hours for power to be restored.
