A fallen tree caused a power outage for roughly 1,500 Oak Bay residents and bus diversions Sunday afternoon.
The power went off just after 1 p.m., when a tree fell down across a power line. Oak Bay Avenue was closed at St. Patrick Street. The road closures affected bus routes 2 and 8, which were diverted from Oak Bay Avenue.
Crews were on-site by 2:30 p.m. and power was reinstated to the affected homes by 3 p.m.
