PCH closed in Torrance after car hits power pole, live wires are down

TORRANCE — A section of Pacific Coast Highway was closed in the Torrance area today after a vehicle crashed into a power pole, police said.

The crash happened about 4:30 a.m. east of Crenshaw Boulevard, the Torrance Police Department said.

The motorist suffered a minor injury in the single-vehicle crash, police said.

Some live power wires were downed as a result of the crash,

That prompted authorities to close PCH from Crenshaw to Pesylvania Avenue while crews worked to clear the scene.

The closure was continuing nearly four hours later, police said.
