Car Smashes Power Pole On Oakland's Market Street

OAKLAND (CBS 5 / BCN) ― A street in Oakland was expected to remain closed until sometime Wednesday evening because of a power pole that fell after it was struck by a vehicle early Wednesday.

The vehicle crashed into the pole on Market Street, between 54th and 55th streets, around 1:20 a.m., Pacific Gas & Electric spokeswoman Tamar Sarkissian said.

The road remained blocked late Wednesday afternoon while crews worked to replace the pole, Sarkissian said.

Only one PG&E customer was without power, she added.
