Both lanes of Highway-9 in Ben Lomond were shut down for over 11 hours yesterday after a Boulder Creek resident crashed into a power pole. 27-year old Micah Szoke was arrested for driving under the influence after driving a Cadillac sedan into a pole just before 8 a.m near Middle Drive, an area located between Boulder Creek and Brookdale. Power was shut down to roughly 745 area-customers throughout the day. One lane reopened around noon while P-G-and-E crews worked to replace the pole. The highway was completely re-opened at around 7:30 p.m. Szoke was booked into Santa Cruz County Jail.
