Laguna Canyon Road reopened at 3 a.m. today after a 10-hour closure due to emergency repairs by utility crews to replace a toppled telephone pole, police said Tuesday.
A telephone pole, sheered off in the 2700 block when hit by a car, toppled across the road and struck an outbound vehicle, Sgt. Tim Kleiser said. Neither motorist was injured, he said.
“That person’s lucky,” said Kleiser, noting that the pole snapped at its base, bringing down phone and cable wires.
Though police closed the road between Canyon Acres Drive and El Toro Road, residents who live along the canyon were allowed to drive to their homes, Kleiser said.
