A vehicle collided with a utility pole in Rosamond, CA, late last night, resulting in significant damage but no injuries reported. The incident occurred around 11:11 PM on December 15, 2024, at 3972 90th Street West. Emergency services responded promptly to the scene, where they discovered the utility pole was completely broken and lying on the ground, disconnected from the overhead power lines.
Authorities quickly arranged for a tow truck to remove the vehicle involved in the collision. The California Highway Patrol notified Southern California Edison about the downed pole, and a crew was dispatched to address the situation. Although the utility company initially indicated a lengthy wait for their crew, they later confirmed an estimated arrival time of about 30 minutes.
Traffic in the area was affected due to the collision, and officials advised against allowing commercial vehicles to pass through because of the low-hanging power lines. Fortunately, no injuries were reported, and the situation was managed effectively by the responding units.
Motorists were urged to exercise caution and seek alternate routes until the area was cleared. The California Highway Patrol continued to monitor the scene to ensure the safety of all road users as the utility company worked to restore normal conditions.
