A single-vehicle collision occurred today at approximately 6:40 PM on Olema Bolinas Road in Bolinas, California, resulting in two occupants suffering possible injuries. The incident involved a vehicle that collided with a pole, which also knocked down a nearby speed limit sign.
Emergency services responded promptly to the scene, with fire and medical units dispatched to assist the injured individuals. The two patients were transported to Bolinas Fire Station for further evaluation and care. Although the extent of their injuries remains unclear, both occupants were reported to have sustained possible injuries.
Following the collision, downed power lines were reported, leading the California Highway Patrol to block one lane of traffic to ensure the safety of motorists and emergency responders.

A tow truck was requested later in the evening to remove the vehicle from the scene. The vehicle was successfully towed, allowing for the area to be cleared for normal traffic flow. While the incident caused minor injuries to the occupants, it also disrupted traffic due to the downed lines and the presence of emergency services managing the scene.
