Out-of-control truck crashes into Whisky a Go Go

A dump truck crashed into the Whisky a Go Go on Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood, knocking over a power pole, and power to the neighborhood.

LOS ANGELES - A dump truck caused quite a mess after crashing into the famed Whisky a Go Go.

What we know:

The crash happened Friday afternoon on Sunset Blvd. and Clark St.

According to investigators, the truck was at the top of a steep hill as crews were loading it with dirt. The breaks somehow got loose and the truck started going downhill. Luckily, no one was inside the truck. 

The dump truck slammed into power poles, a transformer, a mail truck, and two vehicles in the parking lot before hitting the building. Officials said the mail person jumped out of their vehicle before the truck hit it.

A dump truck slammed into power poles and other vehicles outside the famed Whisky a Go Go.

Power was cut off to nearby areas. The fallen pole caused 1,420 customers to lose power, Southern California Edison spokesman Jeff Monford said. After crew members rerouted power, that number was reduced to 225, according to Monford.

Clark Street is closed north of Sunset Boulevard.

Ironically, the band scheduled to play Friday night is named ‘Boy Hits Car.' Their show has been rescheduled for a later date. 

No injuries were reported.
