Vehicle crashes into power pole; downed lines, pole close roadway Tuesday

KELSEYVILLE, Calif. – A traffic collision Tuesday afternoon resulted in a road closure after power lines and a pole fell across the roadway.


The California Highway Patrol reported that the crash occurred just before 1 p.m. at Soda Bay Road at Park Drive.


A vehicle crashed into a pole, which reportedly fell across the vehicle's hood and dropped power lines on the road, the CHP reported.


Officials also reported that a power transformer was knocked off the power pole and was lying in the roadway.


The Lake County Department of Public Works Roads Division issued an alert just before 3 p.m. warning that Soda Bay Road, west of Cal Packing Road, was closed to all traffic, with vehicles being detoured down Stone Drive to Big Valley Road to Cal Packing Road.


At the time it was not known when the road would be reopened, with officials offering estimating anywhere from four to 10 hours.


Crews continued to work at the scene until late into the night, according to the CHP.
