[01-16-2025] – Hit-and-Run in Arbuckle Leaves Vehicle in Orchard, Damages Power Pole

Arbuckle, CA — A hit-and-run incident occurred on January 16, 2025, at the intersection of College City Road and Friel Road. A Ford Maverick was discovered in an orchard with significant damage after colliding with a power pole. The driver fled the scene, and no injuries were reported.

Emergency responders arrived promptly, notifying the utility company about the downed power pole, which was broken at its base and hanging by wires. To ensure safety, the eastbound lane on Friel Road was closed due to low-hanging wires as utility crews worked to address the issue.

A tow truck was dispatched to remove the damaged vehicle, which sustained extensive damage requiring substantial repairs. Emergency personnel managed the scene efficiently, and the area was cleared without further complications.

Authorities remind drivers of the dangers of reckless driving and the legal consequences of hit-and-run incidents. Motorists are encouraged to exercise caution and responsibility to avoid such accidents in the future.
