A large power outage spanning from central Bakersfield to Oildale has been reported. 

The outage was first reported just after 12:30 Monday morning. 

PG&E says more than 1,000 customers are affected. The outage spans from Buck Owens Boulevard all the way to Woodrow Avenue in Oildale. 

This outage was possibly caused by a vehicle that hit a fire hydrant near a gas station on Buck Owens Boulevard.
