A Ryder rental truck without a driver slammed into a power pole and knocked out power for about 2,000 customers, according to media reports. 

The unoccupied truck rolled down Dunsmore Avenue, struck a power pole at Los Amigos Street and downed live electrical wires about 4 p.m., Glendale Police Sgt. Tom Lorenz told The Glendale News-Press.

Glendale firefighters put out a small fire near the crash, The News-Pres reported. No one was injured.
