According to a report by the Los Angeles Times, on Friday, May 9, a dump truck crashed into five vehicles before plowing into the iconic Whiskey a Go Go club in West Hollywood, knocking out power for nearby businesses in the area shortly before 2:00 p.m.
Jeff Monford, a spokesperson for Southern California Edison, said the dump truck brought down a main wire — knocking out power for some of the surrounding buildings. He said the outage initially affected 1,420 customers, but that was reduced to 225 when crews rerouted power.
