Some photos from a very scary scene I made it to this evening. Solo vehicle accident into a power pole along Railroad Canyon Road in Lake Elsinore. The woman who was driving (and the solo occupant of the vehicle) was trapped inside for several minutes due to the energized power lines. Edison crews (on their way to a different call) arrived at the scene very quickly and were able to cut the power, allowing firefighters to approach the vehicle and assist the woman. She was uninjured and walked away from the truck with the help of firefighters. Railroad Canyon Road is expected to be closed in both directions for up to 7 hours, and several hundred Edison customers in the area are without power at this time. My apologies for the low-quality photos. Most of them are screen grabs from video that I actually shot at the scene. You can see from the images just how hard it was raining at the time of the incident (me and my gear were SOAKED!)
