A traffic incident occurred today at the intersection of Collier Canyon Road and Carneal Road in Livermore, CA, when a vehicle collided with a utility pole. The impact caused the pole to split in half, resulting in downed wires that blocked the roadway. Emergency services responded quickly to the scene, with firefighters and utility crews dispatched to manage the situation.
The incident was reported around 1:53 PM, and emergency responders arrived shortly thereafter. The downed power lines created a hazardous environment, leading to a complete blockage of both lanes of traffic. Authorities noted that the vehicle had gone through a fence, raising concerns about nearby livestock.
A tow truck was requested for the disabled vehicle, identified as a gray Honda sedan, which was positioned approximately five feet off the roadway. Utility representatives indicated they would provide an estimated time of arrival to restore power and clear the lines from the roadway.
As of now, the status of any injuries remains unknown. Motorists are advised to avoid the area and seek alternate routes until the situation is resolved. Response teams are working diligently to restore normal traffic flow and ensure safety for all road users.
