A traffic collision involving two vehicles occurred today at the intersection of State Route 84 West and Thornton Avenue On-Ramp in Fremont, CA. The incident took place around 7:30 AM and involved a red Subaru Ascend and a silver Toyota Prius.
Initial reports indicated that there were no injuries; however, concerns arose regarding occupants potentially being trapped inside the Subaru after it collided with a light pole, which subsequently fell onto the vehicle. This prompted a swift response from the fire department to ensure the safety of all involved.
Emergency services, including the California Department of Transportation (CALTRANS), quickly arrived at the scene to manage the situation. The downed light pole posed a hazard due to exposed low voltage wires, necessitating immediate attention. Both vehicles were located on the right-hand side of the roadway, and a tow truck was called to remove them.
By 2:05 PM, the situation had been resolved, and all emergency units were cleared from the area. The prompt response from emergency services helped mitigate any further complications or risks to public safety.
