Authorities issued a Sigalert for all lanes of Topanga Canyon Boulevard early Friday morning after a car collided with a power pole. 

Both the northbound and southbound lanes of the road north of Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu were closed just before 1 a.m. due to the collision, though the crash occurred at around 9:50 p.m. Thursday evening. 

As crews worked to repair the damaged power pole, they were tentatively expected to reopen the road to all through traffic at 7 a.m.

Drivers were encouraged to avoid the area and seek other routes.

The Sigalert was lifted a little after 7:30 a.m., though a private traffic control company conducting an investigation remained at the scene, meaning some lanes were still closed.

No injuries were reported in the incident and no arrests were made, according to CHP.
