A semi-truck that had just exited Highway 101 in Shell Beach hit a power line, causing an outage in the area Thursday morning.
Shortly after 7 a.m., the truck snagged a power line on Shell Beach Road near Spyglass Drive, knocking down a pole and damaging others. A small fire also started, but it was quickly extinguished.
A total of 358 customers in the area are without power, according to PG&E. The utility expects to fully restore power by 5 p.m.
Officials closed the Highway 101 Spyglass Drive offramp for about two hours, according to the CHP.
There were no reports of injuries as a result of the accident.
