Arden-Area Truck Crash Knocked Out Power To 1,400 Customers

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) - About 1,400 SMUD customers were in the dark Thursday morning after a truck knocked out power to the area.

The crash happened along Watt Avenue near Hyde Way. The driver hit a power pole and continued through a fence, getting stuck.

The driver stayed on the scene and was not injured. He is not being suspected of DUI, the CHP says. There may be other factors in the crash, they say.

It appears this isn't the first time that someone has hit the fence in this spot. There are several metal poles that were pushed over in the crash.

SMUD workers restored power to customers in the 6 a.m. hour Thursday.
