A traffic collision on State Route 74 (SR-74) in Mountain Center, CA, disrupted traffic flow today. The incident occurred around 3:42 PM when a gray Chrysler Pacifica collided with a pole on the right-hand shoulder of the roadway, resulting in damage to the vehicle's front bumper.
Emergency response teams quickly arrived at the scene to manage the situation and ensure safety for all drivers. The vehicle remained on the shoulder, which led to some traffic delays and congestion in the area. As responders worked to clear the scene, motorists were advised to exercise caution and be prepared for slower traffic.
By 4:00 PM, the vehicle was still on the shoulder, and a tow truck was requested for its removal. However, it was reported that there were no funds available for towing at that time, which may have prolonged the traffic impact.
Drivers traveling along State Route 74 during the afternoon should remain alert for potential delays as emergency crews continue to address the situation. Authorities are focused on clearing the roadway to restore normal traffic conditions as quickly as possible.
