Hook, whose hometown was not disclosed, was arrested on suspicion of drunk driving.
Several power transformers were knocked down, interrupting power for a short while, police said.
Magnolia was closed to traffic between Hazard and Bolsa avenues, authorities said.
It was scheduled to reopen at 10 Saturday night.
