A traffic collision occurred today at the intersection of Valley Center Road and Mendoza Lane in Valley Center, CA, involving one vehicle, a white mini van, which collided with a power pole. The impact caused the pole to fall across the roadway, creating hazardous conditions that necessitated lane closures.

Traffic management units were deployed to control the flow of vehicles and ensure safety while utility crews worked to address the low-hanging wires resulting from the fallen pole.
