Road closure was caused by leaking transformer fluid.
Probably from the pole the WAPA truck ran into when it lost its brakes and caused an outage a couple weeks ago.
I drove by there on Sunday and pole was leaning at a crazy angle, power and Innovative lines askew, traffic sign on ground and you could see where they ran the truck into the upside of hill to help them stop before hitting a sharp, steep, downhill corner.
