A single-vehicle traffic collision occurred early this morning at the intersection of South Bethel Avenue and East Central Avenue in Sanger, CA. At approximately 5:38 AM, a black Ford Explorer struck an electric pole. Fortunately, there were no injuries reported in connection with the incident.
Emergency services responded promptly to the scene, where they confirmed that the electric pole remained upright and did not have any downed power lines. Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) was contacted to stabilize the pole before the vehicle could be safely towed away. PG&E estimated a 35-minute arrival time to address the pole's stability.
Throughout the morning, emergency responders monitored the situation to ensure public safety. The vehicle was confirmed to be holding the pole upright, which delayed the towing process until PG&E could stabilize the structure. By 7:14 AM, the California Highway Patrol updated the incident status to confirm that there were no injuries involved.
Traffic flow in the area may have been impacted due to the ongoing response efforts, but no major lane closures have been reported.
