Power Outage Causes Crash Involving Two Vehicles on Ruffin Road in Kearny Mesa

 
KEARNY MESA, CA (February 29, 2024) – One person was hurt in a two-vehicle accident at Ruffin Road and Clairemont Mesa Boulevard in Kearny Mesa on Monday evening.
 
The accident happened around 10:45 p.m. on February 26. According to the San Diego Police Department, a car and a pickup truck collided at a blacked-out intersection during a power outage.
 
Officers said a stoplight was out when the two vehicles crashed. The impact of the crash caused the truck to roll over and come to rest on its roof.
 
Responding paramedics took one person to a hospital with minor injuries.
 
According to the San Diego Gas & Electric’s Outage Map, the outage in the area happened around 30 minutes before the crash.
 
Service in the area was restored a few hours later, but the cause of the outage was unknown.
 
Further investigation is underway.
 
In the event of a power outage, traffic signals may convert to a flashing red light or lose power and go dark, and street lights could turn off. As motorists, treat flashing red signal lights as an all-way stop and treat every entrance to an intersection as a stop sign. Stay alert, manage your speed and practice defensive driving.
