A traffic collision occurred early today at the intersection of Hazel Avenue and Greenback Lane in Orangevale, CA, involving one vehicle, a black sedan, which collided with a telephone pole. The incident was reported at approximately 12:03 AM, and emergency services responded promptly to the scene. Fortunately, there were no injuries reported.
The collision caused significant damage to the telephone pole, necessitating the involvement of utility services to secure the area. Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) was contacted to address the damaged pole, which was sheared at its base. Due to the extent of the damage, utility workers needed to arrive on-site before the vehicle could be safely towed away.
Traffic in the area was affected as emergency services worked to manage the situation. A tow truck was called shortly after the incident, but the vehicle could not be removed until the utility company completed their work. The utility crew estimated a wait time of 20 to 25 minutes before they could secure the area.
The situation was resolved without any reported injuries, and the roadway was cleared once the necessary repairs were made. Motorists in the vicinity were advised to exercise caution while navigating the area during the incident response.
