A traffic collision occurred late last night in Fairfield, CA, involving a vehicle that struck a powerline pole. The incident took place around 11:54 PM on Rockville Road, prompting a swift response from emergency services. Reports indicated that one individual was trapped inside the vehicle but remained conscious during the rescue efforts.
Emergency responders worked diligently to free the trapped individual while coordinating with utility services due to the downed powerline, which created additional hazards. To ensure public safety, traffic control measures were implemented, resulting in lane closures in both directions from Abernathy to Oliver on Rockville Road.
A tow truck was summoned to assist with the removal of the vehicle, and Pacific Gas and Electric Company was notified about the downed powerline, with an estimated arrival time of 25 minutes for their crew. Fortunately, the vehicle did not appear to be on top of the powerlines, reducing the risk of further complications.
As of now, the final status of any injuries remains unknown, but emergency services continue to manage the situation. Motorists are advised to avoid the area and seek alternative routes until the roadway is cleared and power services are restored. This incident underscores the importance of prompt emergency response and coordination with utility services to ensure public safety during traffic collisions.
