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.
