A motor home towing a jeep on a trailer and trailer struck a power pole about 1:00 PM on the grade just east of the entrance to the USFWS across from the Daley Ranch. Both vehicles caught fire, and HW 94 was shut down in both directions. The power pole fell over and live wires lay across the road. SDG&E responded and was still involved in cleanup at 7 PM, although one lane of the road was open At lease one person was injured and transported to a hospital, and two dogs were also taken into protective custody. The motor home was a total loss, as was the Jeep Liberty that was being towed. There was no report on the injured parties.
Later two separate car crashes near Barrett Lake Rd. and HWY 94 also shut down traffic for a time.
Be careful out there! Doesn't it make you wonder how we'd do in an emergency evacuation situation?
Channel Ten had a camera on the scene. It's coverage is online at http://www.10news.com/slideshow/news/27578556/detail.html
