Electrical wires are down in the roadway on Monument Blvd. at Erickson Rd. in Concord.
A white box truck, registered out of Danville, hit the power pole, then fled the scene, according to police.
The intersection has been shut down until further notice.
Use caution if you’re in the area.
Thanks to David Fuhrmann for the photo.

And yet another gift from illegal immigration and illegal immigrants,
Maybe they should start stop and frisk for license and insurance. Lot of hit and runs lately.

Monument Bl is Concord’s version of Oakland’s International Bl.

Right on the money anonymous. It was two white guys from Canada. They came to California to escape the oppressive government up north.
One more reason for having all cables go underground.
The PD has the plate number, the name of the company that owns it, and a description of the driver. The pinhead should have stayed at the scene.
Now PGE will want to raid rates again to replace urban line on wood polls. Looks like it was top heavy too.
Didn’t I hear that there was a shortage of wooden poles for PG&E?
That’s why the cost of them has skyrocketed
The US Forrest Service is running out of trees.
If you haven’t noticed, all the power goes underground next to the 7-11 at the intersection of Monument and Oak Grove and is underground from there until it pops up again in front of McDonald’s.
That’s because they could force the developer of the Food Maxx shopping center to pay for it to get their building permit.
We need more parcels on Monument to redevelop so we can pass the cost on to the developer.
Now that you know this, you’ll be amazed at how much better it looks with power underground and you couldn’t really put your finger on why that block feels more open than the others on Monument. The whole Monument corridor would look 30 years newer with power underground. (don’t get me started on the 3 lanes to 2 for 100′ then back to 3 next to Taco Bell for no apparent reason)
A city council member told me that Monument will be fully reconstructed in 2023. We’ll see.
Are the Russians attacking the Poles as well as Ukraine?
