A traffic incident occurred today involving a single vehicle on State Route 1 South near Constellation Road Off-Ramp in Lompoc, CA. At approximately 6:05 AM, a dark-colored sedan spun out of control and collided with a Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) pole. Fortunately, there were no reported injuries from the collision.
