I believe this inicdent caused a brief power blackout/surge through to the airport area. My workplace at Lockleys lost power briefly before the UPS/Generator kicked in and a client at the airport lost power which caused a server/desktops to shutdown.

TRAFFIC on South Rd is likely to blocked for several hours after a truck brought down high-power electrical lines at Ridleyton this morning.

The road is closed between Torrens Rd and Port Rd because about 200m of power line is lying across the road and on at least two buildings.

The truck clipped a power pole about 10.30am which caused brought down the lines and caused two other power poles to bend.

One pole fell to the ground in a vacant block between two houses.

Nobody was injured but the power lines ignited a small grass fire, which is now extinguished.

Traffic will be restricted to one lane in each direction and reduced speed limits will be in place until the early hours of tomorrow morning.

"Motorists are urged to avoid the area completely so as to ease congestion," a police spokesman said.
