A traffic collision on State Route 152 in Gilroy, CA, has caused significant disruptions today. The incident occurred early this morning when a white cab semi struck a power pole, leaving the vehicle undriveable. A second vehicle, a white big rig, was found off the roadway in a field, but its status remains unclear.
As a result of the collision, multiple lanes have been blocked, leading to traffic congestion and delays for morning commuters. Power outages have affected traffic signals in the area, with one signal flashing red and another completely out. This situation has prompted the California Highway Patrol to deploy several units for traffic management and scene control.
Emergency response teams are actively managing the scene, including the request for a tow truck to remove the damaged semi. The downed power pole will require replacement, which may prolong the disruption. Motorists are advised to seek alternate routes to avoid the area and anticipate delays.
Drivers are encouraged to stay informed about traffic conditions as crews work diligently to clear the scene and restore normalcy. The situation remains dynamic, and further updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
