The crash occurred just after midnight.

“Speed may have been [a factor]. There were some witnesses that believe the car was travelling at an unsafe speed, probably due to the rainy conditions,” Gaumer said.

​It was unclear how many customers were affected by power loss.

COVINA - One person was pulled from an overturned car unconscious after it rolled over in a multi-vehicle crash Thursday night.

All lanes are open on the west Interstate 10 freeway west of Via Verde Drive after the collision briefly closed all lanes, according to the California Highway Patrol.

The occupant in the overturned vehicle was pulled out unconscious.

At least one patient was taken to an area hospital, according to Dispatch Supervisor Michael Pittman of the Los Angeles County Fire Department.
