A single-vehicle accident occurred late last night on Auburn Folsom Road in Loomis, CA, resulting in minor injuries to both occupants. The incident took place at approximately 9:54 PM when a silver vehicle overturned after colliding with a pole. Emergency services were notified shortly after the crash, and multiple units from the California Highway Patrol and local fire services responded promptly to the scene.
Upon arrival at 10:08 PM, emergency responders found the vehicle on its roof, with its wheels facing upward. Fortunately, both occupants were able to self-extricate from the overturned vehicle without requiring assistance from emergency personnel. Minor injuries were reported, but both individuals managed to exit the vehicle independently.
The situation was stabilized by 10:59 PM, allowing emergency units to clear the scene shortly thereafter. A tow truck was called to remove the vehicle from the roadway, ensuring that traffic could resume as quickly as possible. The incident caused some temporary disruptions in the area, particularly with northbound lanes being blocked during the response.
In addition to the vehicle collision, Pacific Gas and Electric was notified due to a power pole being involved in the incident. Although the pole remained upright, there was concern about potential power outages in the area. PG&E was informed and estimated an arrival time of approximately 35 minutes to assess the situation.
This incident underscores the importance of safe driving practices, especially in areas where road conditions may be affected by weather or other factors. The California Highway Patrol urges all drivers to remain vigilant and cautious while on the road to prevent similar accidents in the future.
As investigations continue, local authorities will monitor the area for any further developments related to this incident. Residents are advised to stay updated on road conditions and any potential delays as cleanup efforts proceed.
