Power was knocked out for hours at dozens of homes in the area of Cook and Quadra in Saanich after a car rolled down a hill on Clovelly Terrace about 5 Thursday morning and sheared off a hydro pole.
The driver, who was not in the car, tried to stop the runaway vehicle, Saanich police Const. Markus Anastasiades said. The driver was not injured.
Power was off for several hours.
