More than 3,500 customers were without power on southern Vancouver Island this morning due to two separate vehicle crashes.

B.C. Hydro reported power outages both in Mill Bay and Cobble Hill due to vehicle accidents. By 8 a.m., that number was down to just under 500 without power in an area south of Cobble Hill Road, east of Carlton Drive and west of Deloume Road.

A small number of customers was also without power in View Royal this morning. B.C. Hydro investigated the power lines and wasn’t able to determine the cause.

Power in Cobble Hill was expected to return by noon, according to B.C. Hydro’s website.
