A traffic collision involving a newer white jeep and a power pole occurred today at the intersection of Olive Hill Road and State Route 76 in Bonsall, CA. The incident was reported around 6:56 AM, leading to the temporary closure of both northbound and southbound lanes. The fallen power pole created a significant obstruction, prompting emergency response units to arrive swiftly to manage the scene.
Traffic control measures were implemented to ensure the safety of motorists and emergency personnel. The hard closure caused delays and backups for drivers during the busy morning commute. San Diego Gas and Electric (SDG&E) was called to the scene to assist in clearing the blockage and restoring power.
By approximately 7:50 AM, SDG&E had successfully removed the fallen pole, allowing traffic to resume in the area. A police unit confirmed that all lanes were reopened shortly thereafter. Motorists are advised to remain cautious as traffic flow returns to normal, and to be aware of potential residual congestion.
This incident highlights the importance of quick emergency response in managing traffic incidents and ensuring the safety of all road users. Drivers are encouraged to stay alert and follow any traffic control measures in place as the situation stabilizes.
