Gaming operations at Thunder Valley Casino Resort were temporarily suspended Thursday due to a power outage caused by a crash that damaged utility infrastructure.
In a statement posted to social media, the Northern California casino said the outage was caused by an off-property traffic collision that impacted electrical service to the resort.
Thunder Valley said that Pacific Gas and Electric was working to restore service. PG&E confirmed a cement truck had struck power lines in the area. The outage had also affected people in Roseville and Lincoln, but PG&E said it restored power to those areas. Power to the casino itself was restored around 2 p.m. but gaming was still being impacted.
