A traffic collision occurred early this morning at the intersection of West 14th Avenue and South Solano Avenue in Blythe, CA, involving one vehicle—a white SUV—that struck a power pole. The incident was reported at approximately 3:26 AM, leading to significant roadway closures as emergency response teams arrived on the scene.
Upon arrival, responders found the power pole leaning precariously, prompting immediate traffic management to ensure the safety of motorists. The California Highway Patrol and local emergency units worked together to control the situation and secure the area. A tow truck was requested to remove the vehicle, but it was noted that the power company would need to stabilize the damaged pole first.
By around 4:20 AM, it was communicated that the stabilization process could take approximately two to three hours, which would delay the tow truck's arrival. As a result, traffic was diverted, and drivers faced delays in the area.
Emergency services remained on-site to oversee traffic control and ensure safe passage for vehicles. The situation is being monitored closely, and updates will be provided as the scene is cleared and normal traffic flow is restored.
