A vehicle was involved in a collision with a power pole on the northbound Interstate 15 in San Bernardino County, CA, early today. The incident occurred around 2:10 AM, causing the vehicle to veer off the road and down an embankment. Emergency services quickly responded to the scene after initial reports raised concerns about potential injuries, although the current status of injuries remains unknown.
Upon arrival, responders found that the power pole had been downed, prompting Edison workers to address the hazardous power line. The vehicle was located in a ravine, with tracks leading from the freeway to the pole indicating the vehicle's path.
Emergency personnel assessed the situation and confirmed that there was a party in the vehicle. A tow truck was requested to assist in retrieving the vehicle from the embankment, which posed challenges due to its location beyond a permanent fence.
Motorists in the area may have experienced traffic disruptions as emergency crews worked to manage the scene and ensure safety. The power line was being de-energized to prevent further hazards while the situation was being resolved.
Authorities continue to monitor the area, and updates will be provided as more information becomes available regarding the incident and its impact on traffic.
