A traffic collision on State Route 118 East in Simi Valley, CA, has caused significant disruptions today. The incident occurred around 4:56 PM when a grey Honda Civic veered off the roadway and struck a light pole, resulting in the pole falling across multiple lanes. This has led to lane closures and traffic congestion for drivers in the area.

Emergency response teams, including units from the California Highway Patrol (CHP) and the Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LA DOT), quickly arrived at the scene to manage traffic flow and ensure safety. A tow truck was called to the site, but the vehicle remains on scene with part of the damaged light pole lodged underneath it.

Motorists are advised to seek alternate routes to avoid the backup caused by the fallen pole, particularly for those traveling on the northbound Stearns Street on-ramp to eastbound State Route 118. The situation is still developing, and authorities are working diligently to clear the roadway and restore normal traffic conditions.

Drivers should remain cautious and expect delays in the area as cleanup efforts continue. For the latest updates on traffic conditions, stay tuned to local news sources and traffic reports.
