A car crash closed Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu Monday morning and authorities say it could remain shut down through the afternoon.
The closure is expected to last until 3 p.m. as Southern California Edison crews work to repair the downed pole, the California Department of Transportation announced on a social media post.
Deputies were initially called at 3:20 a.m. to Pacific Coast Highway, near Paradise Cove Road, for reports of a vehicle that crashed into a pole, said Lt. Roman Foss with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
Foss said the crash was a hit-and-run, and the vehicle and driver had left the area before deputies arrived.
By 9 a.m. Caltrans officials announced crews would be in the area for about five to six hours to repair the damage.
