The power is out for much of the downtown after an early-morning collision at 9th and Dogwood Street in Campbell River.
Nearly 630 addresses are currently affected around Dogwood Street from 14th Avenue in the north to 9th and 7th Avenue in the south. BC Hydro crews are on scene and estimate the power will be back by 3 pm this afternoon.
Crews are currently on scene where a truck collided with a power pole, breaking it off at the base. The pole has been removed and the truck was loaded on a flatbed truck and removed. Crews are now working to replace the pole.
Part of the intersection and one southbound lane on Dogwood are currently blocked off while crews conduct work, drivers heading through the intersection should expect minor delays.
