A car crash closed Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu on Monday morning and authorities say it could remain shut down through the afternoon.
The closure is expected to last until 3 pm as Southern California Edison crews work to repair the downed pole, the California Department of Transportation announced in a social media post.
Deputies were initially called at 3:20 am to Pacific Coast Highway, near Paradise Cove Road, for reports of a vehicle that crashed into a pole, said Lt. Roman Foss with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
Foss said the crash was a hit-and-run, and the vehicle and driver had left the area before deputies arrived.
By 9 am, Caltrans officials announced crews would be in the area for about five to six hours to repair the damage.
Comments are closed, but trackbacks and pingbacks are open.
