A hit-and-run incident involving two vehicles occurred tonight at the intersection of East Manning Avenue and South McCall Avenue in Selma, California. The incident was reported at approximately 8:59 PM when a red Ford Mustang was found unable to move after colliding with a Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) power pole.
Emergency services responded promptly, arriving on the scene shortly after the initial report. Upon arrival, they confirmed that the red Ford Mustang had struck the power pole, which sustained significant damage but remained standing. Fortunately, no injuries were reported as a result of the incident.
At 9:01 PM, a tow truck was requested to assist with the disabled vehicle. Emergency responders coordinated with PG&E to address the damage to the power pole. PG&E was notified and provided an estimated time of arrival of 30 to 35 minutes to assess and repair the damaged infrastructure.
Traffic in the area was temporarily affected as emergency responders worked to clear the scene. Local residents assisted by using flashlights to alert oncoming traffic of the collision. By 9:42 PM, emergency units had cleared the scene, and the tow truck successfully removed the red Ford Mustang, which was deemed not drivable.
This incident highlights the importance of safe driving practices and the potential consequences of hit-and-run collisions. While no injuries occurred this time, the damage to the power pole underscores the risks involved in such incidents. Authorities encourage anyone with information about the hit-and-run to come forward to assist in the ongoing investigation.
As the evening progresses, residents are advised to remain cautious in the area and to report any suspicious activity to local law enforcement.
