A suspected DUI driver crashed into a power pole in San Luis Obispo early Tuesday morning leading to road closures as PG&E worked to restore power in the area.
Shortly before 1 a.m., a officer discovered a white SUV had crashed into a power pole on Prado Road near Highway 101 and Elks Lane. Officers suspect the crash was caused by drinking and driving.
The crash led to a temporary power outage in the area.
While PG&E worked on fixing the damaged pole, officers closed off Elks Lane and a section of Prado Road. The power is back on and both roads are now open.
