A traffic collision on Dougherty Avenue in Morgan Hill, CA, has led to significant road closures today. The incident occurred around 5:06 PM, involving one vehicle, a white F150, which collided with a fence and power lines. Due to the hazards created by the crash, including a sheared power pole and compromised fencing, all lanes are currently blocked from San Bruno Avenue to Mira Monte Avenue.
Emergency response teams, including the California Highway Patrol (CHP) and fire services, arrived promptly to manage the scene and direct traffic. A hard closure has been implemented to ensure public safety, as live wires are present and the power pole is completely sheared off.
Motorists are advised to avoid the area and seek alternative routes to prevent delays. The ongoing closure is expected to cause significant congestion and backups as emergency crews work to clear the scene. A tow truck has been requested to assist with the removal of the vehicle, which is noted as potentially drivable.
Drivers should stay informed about the situation and plan their travel accordingly to navigate around the affected area. The CHP and other emergency responders are working diligently to restore normal traffic flow as quickly as possible.
