A traffic collision occurred today at 1448 W American Avenue in Fresno, California, involving a green pickup truck that collided with a light post and a fence. Fortunately, no injuries were reported in this incident.
The collision took place around 9:31 AM when the pickup truck struck the light post, causing it to fall onto the vehicle. This rendered the truck undriveable, and a tow truck was dispatched to the scene to assist with the situation. However, the truck could not be moved until the light post was removed, creating a temporary obstruction on the roadway.
Emergency services responded promptly, and utility companies, including AT&T and Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E), were engaged to address the downed light pole. PG&E reported an estimated arrival time of 20 minutes for their crew to assess the situation. Meanwhile, AT&T indicated they were still trying to locate a technician to respond to the hazard call, with no specific estimated time of arrival provided.
As emergency and utility teams worked to safely remove the light post from the truck, motorists in the area were advised to exercise caution and seek alternative routes. The incident has caused some traffic disruptions, but no further details regarding lane closures have been provided at this time.
Residents and commuters are reminded to stay informed about the status of the situation and to drive safely in the area. Further updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
