Officials say a North Highlands outage affecting 1,633 customers was caused by downed lines from a possible vehicle crash. No car was found on scene.<\/p>\n

NORTH HIGHLANDS, Calif. \u2014 More than 1,600 customers remain without power in North Highlands on Friday morning after downed power lines were linked to a possible vehicle accident, according to Sacramento Metro Fire.<\/p>\n

The outage was first reported around 4:28 a.m. and is affecting 1,633 customers in the area.<\/p>\n

Sacramento Metro Fire said crews responded to reports of wires hanging low in the roadway, likely the result of a vehicle collision.\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, when fire personnel arrived, no vehicle was found on the scene. A damaged utility pole and downed lines were discovered at the location.<\/p>\n

The cause of the outage is now believed to be related to the pole, though the circumstances of the crash remain unclear and are still under investigation.<\/p>\n

Utility crews are working to repair the damaged equipment and restore service. An estimated restoration time of 6 a.m. was initially provided, but officials say that timeline may change depending on repair conditions and ongoing assessment.<\/p>\n

The outage is expected to remain under active repair until power is fully restored to affected customers.<\/p>\n
