A traffic collision occurred today at the intersection of Murrieta Hot Springs Road and Pourroy Avenue in Murrieta, CA, involving one vehicle, a blue Infiniti G35. The vehicle struck a pole, resulting in a broken pole with exposed wires and damage to a nearby traffic sign.
Emergency services responded quickly, deploying multiple units to manage the scene and control traffic flow. The collision affected lane conditions, particularly blocking the right lane and the adjacent bike lane due to the fallen pole.
