The southbound lanes of Topanga Canyon Boulevard reopened Monday morning after a vehicle downed a pole in the area, officials said.
A vehicle crashed into a pole along Topanga Canyon Boulevard just before midnight and wires were exposed, the Los Angeles Times reported.
CalTrans officials tweeted about the crash about 5 a.m. and said the incident had caused a power outage.
Both sides of the road were closed between Entrada Road and Greenleaf Canyon for hours, but the southbound lanes were reopened about 7:30 a.m., California Highway Patrol officials tweeted.
The road is expected to be closed all day, CHP West Valley officials tweeted. The town of Topanga, however, remains open.
