A traffic collision occurred today on the northbound lanes of Interstate 5 at Zamora, California, at approximately 12:32 PM. A Tesla Model 3 collided with a light pole, resulting in the pole being knocked down. Fortunately, the driver of the Tesla was unharmed and was seen outside the vehicle after the incident.
Witnesses reported that a semi-truck may have struck the light pole prior to the Tesla's collision, but it was unclear if the semi-truck remained at the scene when emergency services arrived.
Emergency responders quickly arrived to assess the situation, confirming that the downed light pole was blocking the slow lane. A tow truck was dispatched to remove the Tesla, which was scheduled for towing shortly after the incident.
As a result of the collision, traffic may have been impacted due to lane blockages caused by the fallen light pole. Authorities worked diligently to clear the roadway and restore normal traffic flow as quickly as possible.
Motorists are advised to exercise caution while traveling through the Zamora area, especially near Interstate 5, as cleanup efforts continue.
