BC Hydro is reporting that a motor vehicle crash has caused an outage in the area. More than 2,900 customers are without power in the area west of Mary Anne Crescent, east of Cogan Road, north of Metchosin Road and south of Langford Parkway.

The cause of the crash is still unknown but police suspect an animal may have been involved.
