A traffic collision involving a white pickup truck occurred today at the intersection of Tank Farm Road and Santa Fe Road in San Luis Obispo, CA. The incident took place around 10:21 AM when the vehicle veered off the roadway and struck a power pole, resulting in the pole falling and debris blocking the road.

Emergency response teams quickly arrived to manage the scene. Multiple units were dispatched to secure the area and address the downed power lines, which led to partial closures of Tank Farm Road. As a result, drivers experienced delays and congestion, particularly during the busy morning commute.

A tow truck was called to remove the pickup truck from the scene, facilitating the clearing of the roadway. Fire crews were also notified due to reports of grass igniting near the downed pole, prompting additional safety measures to be implemented.

Motorists are advised to avoid the area and seek alternate routes to minimize delays. The situation is being managed, but traffic impacts are expected to continue until the roadway is fully cleared and power lines are secured.

Stay tuned for further updates on this traffic incident as the situation develops.
