A portion of Foothills Boulevard in Roseville was closed off early this morning due to a solo vehicle crash that resulted in a power pole being struck and subsequent power outages in the vicinity. The incident, which occurred around 3:30 am, involved a silver truck and left downed power lines scattered along the southbound lane near Cartwright Way, according to a social media post from the City of Roseville Police Department. The area between Vineyard Road and Denio Loop has been shut down as a result and will remain so for an extended period.
Travelers have been advised to find alternative routes as Roseville PD, Roseville Fire, and Roseville Electric work to manage the aftermath of the crash. Although the silver truck was found to be unoccupied by police on arrival, it has been confirmed that the authorities are actively investigating the incident as a hit-and-run. No injuries have been reported as of yet.
Roseville residents affected by the power outage should be prepared for the disruption to carry on while the authorities tend to the power lines and conduct repairs. The electric utility is working diligently to restore power, but no specific timeline has been provided for when residents can expect full power restoration.
Updates on the road closures and power restoration efforts will be disseminated through the Roseville Police Department's social media channels.
