A single-vehicle accident occurred early today in Bonsall, California, when a white Ford F150 slipped off the road and struck a utility pole. The incident took place at approximately 12:23 AM at the intersection of State Route 76 West and South Mission Road. Fortunately, no injuries were reported as a result of the collision.
The California Highway Patrol reported that the accident was likely caused by wet road conditions due to recent rainfall. The driver lost control of the vehicle, leading to the collision with the utility pole. Emergency services responded promptly to the scene to ensure public safety.
The utility pole sustained minor scrapes but remained upright, and San Diego Gas and Electric (SDGE) was notified for a safety inspection. Although the pole was damaged, it did not pose an immediate threat to the surrounding area. A tow truck was called to remove the Ford F150 from the site, although the final status of the vehicle has not been confirmed.
No other vehicles were involved in the incident, which helped to minimize the impact on traffic in the area. The California Highway Patrol worked quickly to clear the scene and ensure that the roadway was safe for other drivers.
Motorists traveling along State Route 76 West are advised to remain cautious, especially during inclement weather, as wet conditions can lead to slippery roads and reduced visibility. It is essential for drivers to adjust their speed and maintain a safe distance from other vehicles to prevent similar accidents.
As the situation developed, SDGE technicians were notified to conduct a thorough safety check on the pole. The community is reminded to stay alert and drive safely, particularly during rainy conditions.
