Oak Bay Fire Department said a truck driver was likely the culprit for hitting an already low-hanging cable line on Mitchell Street around 2 p.m. on Wednesday afternoon.
The fallen line was reported and both the fire department and Oak Bay Police responded and closed Mitchell Street temporarily.

B.C. Hydro visited shortly after to confirm it was a cable line and not for power.
Last summer a food delivery truck backed into a similarly low-hanging cable line in the Willows Tea Room parking lot.
