A traffic accident caused a power outage that left more than 1,800 homes and businesses without electrical service Friday in neighborhoods north of Lake Miramar.
The blackout in the southern reaches of Poway began about 8 a.m., according to San Diego Gas & Electric.
Details about the crash that caused the outage were not immediately available though OnScene.TV reported a vehicle struck a large SDG&E junction box dislodging it on Poway Road Friday morning.
Power was expected to be restored to all the affected SDG&E customers by 8 p.m., the utility advised.
