Traffic flow has been restored on Kamehameha Highway in Ka'a'awa, eight hours after an egg delivery truck struck a pole and blocked the road in both directions.

Darren Pai, spokesman for Hawaiian Electric Co., said the delay was mostly because of the difficulty in removing the truck that ended up in both lanes.

The truck has been removed and traffic is being contraflowed through the area, Pai said.

HECO crews are still making repairs and expect to be there for the rest of the day, he said.

Electricity was knocked out to about 100 customers as a result of the single-vehicle accident that occurred at 5:16 a.m. today near Ka'a'awa Beach Park.

All power was restored in Ka'a'awa at 11:11 a.m., according to Pai.

No one was injured in the vehicular accident, according to the city's Emergency Medical Services.
