A transformer has blown in Fresno, California, leaving many people without power.

Power was out in the area of Shaw and Marty Avenues in Northwest Fresno on Friday afternoon.

PG&E says a transformer blew at Shaw and Valentine Avenues, knocking power out to about 1740 customers.

Some traffic lights were also without power, causing traffic jams to form.
