Car crashes into power pole in Lompoc

The Mission Hills community in Lompoc is without power for the time being until PG&E can restore the power after an SUV crashed into a power pole Saturday afternoon in Lompoc.

The Santa Barbara County Fire responded to an SUV that crashed into a power pole around 2:57 p.m. on the 3300 block of Rucker Road and Calle Tercera.

Fire Officials say the SUV crashed into a high-voltage power pole, which caused the pole to hang over two homes.
