Power restored to over 1,500 residents after motor vehicle accident along Prairie Central Road

CHILLIWACK — More than 1,500 residents have lost power for a few minutes after a motor vehicle incident Monday morning (Aug. 3).

At around 7:36 a.m., BC Hydro crews were called in to a report of lines down along the Chilliwack River and Prairie Central Roads, with scanner traffic reporting a pole sheared off.

BC Ambulance was paged out to the scene for a traffic incident shortly after.

Prairie Central between Prest Road and Luckakuck Way had reportedly been closed in both lanes as a result.
