Early Morning Crash On Ventura Blvd Near Shoup Left 70+ Customers Without Power, Damages CCC Sign
Accident Aftermath From DailyNews.com - 11/27
I actually saw LADWP doing work in the California Chicken Cafe parking lot at about 2:00PM today, but wasn’t sure what happened until I saw this article in the Daily News:
WOODLAND HILLS – A car hit a power pole at Ventura Boulevard and Shoup Avenue early Friday morning knocking out power to 77 Department of Water and Power customers.
Power was restored at 12:45 p.m. Friday, said DWP spokeswoman MaryAnne Pierson said.
The California Highway Patrol closed the Shoup Avenue off ramp from the westbound 101 Freeway because of the crash and opened it at 12:41 p.m. Friday, said CHP Officer Jennifer Connolly.
The Los Angeles Police Department was handling the collision, which occurred around 5:40 a.m., Connolly said.
A pedestrian was also involved in the crash, said Cleon Joseph, a LAPD spokesman. No fatalities were reported, he said early Friday.
I didn’t get a chance to take a picture, but the Daily News site has a couple of great ones of the aftermath. I’m not sure if the pedestrian was struck or not, but if any other details emerge I will post them.

The driver is very fortunate this accident occured on Friday instead of Thursday. Imagine the beating local residents would have put on him/her if the power was out at their homes on the morning of Thankgiving. Not that anyone would have had anything going on then.
