Los Osos Valley Road closed in SLO after car crashes into power pole

A vehicle crashed into a power pole along Los Osos Valley Road on Saturday morning in San Luis Obispo, closing the road and causing power outages to more than 1,500 customers and nearby businesses.

The road is closed from east Los Osos to the San Luis Obispo city limits. The closure was expected to last until PG&E crews were able to fix the power lines. Officials estimated the road would be reopened at around 3 p.m.

It was unclear if the crash was related to Saturday’s rain storm and no injuries were reported.

According to PG&E’s power outage map, nearly 1,500 customers were still affected by the crash by early Saturday afternoon, including nearby businesses such as Target and T.J. Maxx.

Los Osos also had downed power lines at 11th St. and San Ysabel Ave..
