Life was pretty much back to normal in Marina del Rey on a cool, overcast Friday morning after the area was hit with traffic jams, closed stores and darkness from a power outage.
The outage Thursday evening was caused by a blown Southern California Edison transformer, according to a sergeant at the sheriff’s Marina del Rey Station.
A witness reported about 8 p.m. that traffic was jammed, stop lights and street lights were out and some stores were closed on Lincoln Boulevard near Washington Boulevard.
No one from the utility was immediately available to provide additional details.
