EAST PALO ALTO, Calif.—Crews have replaced an electrical tower that was damaged when a small plane struck its power transmission lines and went down in a Silicon Valley neighborhood.
A spokeswoman for Pacific Gas & Electric Co. says a new tower was erected around 9:30 p.m. Thursday. Crews were expected to finish reattaching power lines to it Friday.
The fatal crash cut electricity to most of Palo Alto and surrounding areas for about 10 hours Wednesday. The utility says customers will not experience any outages during the tower work.
The crash that rained fiery debris onto East Palo Alto homes killed the three Tesla Motors employees on board: Doug Bourn, Andrew Ingram and Brian Finn. No one on the ground was injured.
Authorities are still investigating the cause and expect to release preliminary findings next week.
