A traffic collision occurred today involving two vehicles on State Route 137 at Avenue 204 in Tulare, California. At approximately 7:25 AM, a gray Honda Civic lost control and veered off the roadway, colliding with a gray Ford F250. Fortunately, no injuries were reported in this incident.
Emergency services promptly arrived at the scene to assess the situation. Both vehicles were evaluated, and it was determined that neither required towing. However, the collision caused damage to a nearby utility pole, prompting Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) to be notified.

PG&E was informed of the situation, and their team was dispatched to evaluate the damage and determine if a response was necessary. A 40-minute estimated time of arrival was communicated to the California Highway Patrol.
