Calgary crews deal with downed power line in Erlton

A downed power line in the city's southwest caused outages and a few issues with traffic signals in the Erlton area on Thursday morning.

The live power line came down in the 2800 block of Erlton Street S.W. and was sparking on the street.

Traffic lights near Macleod Trail and 25 Avenue S.W. were knocked out for a few hours but are working once again.

ENMAX crews were called out to work on the problem.
