A vehicle struck a utility pole on Kamehameha Highway tonight, knocking out power to 907 Hawaiian Electric Co. customers in the area of Sunset Beach to Kuilima Access Road.

HECO spokesman Darren Pai said troubleshooters were on scene assessing the damage. The outage occurred at 9:08 p.m.

Police closed the highway to traffic between Velzyland and Crawford's Convalescent Home due to live wires on the roadway.

No one was critically injured, police said.
