A traffic collision occurred this morning at the intersection of McGowan Parkway and Ardmore Avenue in Olivehurst, CA, involving one vehicle, a black Dodge Charger. The incident took place around 7:30 AM and resulted in significant traffic disruptions as the vehicle collided with a power pole, causing the pole to fall and power lines to partially obstruct the roadway.
Emergency service units quickly responded to manage the scene and control traffic flow. As a result of the collision, both eastbound and westbound lanes of McGowan Parkway, as well as the southbound lanes of Ardmore Avenue, experienced lane closures. This led to delays and congestion for morning commuters in the area.
A tow truck was called to the scene to remove the damaged vehicle, which was positioned on the sidewalk following the collision. The Yuba County Sheriff's Office requested a hard closure on McGowan Parkway from Olivehurst in both directions to ensure public safety and facilitate the removal of the vehicle and debris.
Pacific Gas and Electric Company was notified and is expected to arrive shortly to address the downed power lines. Motorists are advised to seek alternate routes to avoid the area and minimize delays during this traffic incident.
