Nearly 300 Canyon Country residents were left without power Saturday night after a fatal traffic collision brought down several power lines in the area.

Power is expected to be restored to the 286 people affected by 4 a.m. Sunday morning.

The outage was caused when at least one car involved in a fatal three-car accident at the intersection of Sierra Highway and Golden Valley Road crashed into a power line, downing it.

One person was declared dead at the scene of the crash, and several others were injured.

The intersection is closed in all directions until further notice while officials investigated the crash and began repair work on the power lines.
