La Mirada-  No injuries were reported shortly after noon today after the driver of a delivery van clipped a light standard, felling a power line in the industrial south end of La Mirada. 

The crew from La Mirada Engine Company 49 responded to the 15900 block of Canary Ave at about 12:10 p.m. to a report of a power line down.

Deputies were summoned after it was determined the incident was caused by the driver of a delivery van equipped with a large cargo box requiring a high clearance height had misjudged the distance he was from a street light pole.

The low-speed collision still snapped the pole, sending power lines toppling into the roadway.
