An out-of-control car crashed in Ramona, knocking out power to thousands of customers overnight.
A male driver survived the rollover crash that happened around 2 a.m. on Barnett Road, east of San Vicente Road.
CHP officers responded to the scene and discovered the 30-year-old driver who they say admitted he was traveling too fast.
The driver told them his backend got away from him while going around the corner. The car caught a guide wire off a utility pole and flipped on its side, officials said.
San Diego Gas & Electric, Cox and AT&T were expected to return during the day to patch the damage done.
Up to 2,000 people were without power for about an hour, officials said.
