• Hit and Run Collision Causes Power Outage

New Year's day evening power outage hits many areas of Wildomar. 

It started with a hit and run accident at the intersection of Bundy Canyon and Orange St a few minutes before 7:30pm.

A few images from the scene.

City council members Ben Benoit and Bridgette Moore were on the scene within moments and kept the city up to date with details. 

Details from the event include: 
1) That no one in the incident needed to be transported to the hospital, which is a minor miracle in itself when you consider that a power pole was turned into splinters. 
2) An arrest was made at the scene and the suspect was transported to Southwest Detention Center.

3) Power outages were reported in the neighborhoods surrounding Ronald Reagan Elementary and the Albertson's shopping center. Lights flickered but stayed on in Windsong Valley and The Farm.

The light at the intersection of Bundy Canyon and Orange remained out of service through the night and into midmorning.

4) Signal lights were reported to be out in many areas, including Mission Trail and Bundy Canyon.

The number of "customers affected" started out over 1000. Then went down to about 100, and then to just 10 by 9:00pm.

You can get this type of info first hand by going to SCE's webpage
or using their Smartphone App.

We've been told that it's only a matter of time before the city's facebook page is up and running. So far there are only 70 people that "like" it. If you're a facebook user, and you want to follow city issues like this power outage, you should visit the link below and click the appropriate boxes.

I'm guessing that this incident will show up on next year's "Year In Review" blog. ☺
