CHILLIWACK — A motor vehicle accident, possibly a dump truck versus a pole, has led to a power outage in which 1,200-plus customers lost electricity Thursday morning in Chilliwack Mountain and the surrounding area.
According to the BC Hydro outage map dashboard, 1,233 customers in Chilliwack Mountain, Skwah First Nation and the immediate vicinity lost power at 6:51 a.m. due to a motor vehicle accident.
