Sacramento, CA – A single-vehicle crash occurred at the intersection of Antelope Road and Antelope North Road around 2:34 AM, resulting in significant damage to both the vehicle and a light pole. Fortunately, no injuries were reported.
Emergency responders arrived quickly to find the vehicle smoking, likely due to radiator damage. The impact caused the light pole to crack in half, exposing live wires and creating a potential hazard.
Traffic was temporarily affected as crews worked to clear the scene. A tow truck was dispatched to remove the vehicle, and utility crews were notified to repair the damaged pole, with an estimated response time of 40 minutes.
Motorists were advised to drive cautiously in the area due to lane closures during cleanup efforts. The situation was resolved without major disruptions, and traffic returned to normal shortly after.
Authorities remind drivers to stay alert, particularly during nighttime hours, to help prevent similar incidents.
