A major thoroughfare in Santa Barbara was shut down Sunday morning after a vehicle struck a utility pole, according to Santa Barbara police.
Sgt. Chris Payne said emergency personnel were dispatched shortly after 7:30 a.m. to the incident on Las Positas Road, just north of Calle Real next to Earl Warren Showgrounds.
The crash caused power lines to fall, creating a potentially dangerous situation, Payne said.
Las Positas Road was shut down between Calle Real on the south and Baldwin Road on the north, but Calle Real remained open.
No injuries were reported in the crash, which was under police investigation.
