One person died as a result of a vehicle crashing into a utility pole. At approximately 9:30 a.m. on Wednesday a 52-year-old woman from Boulder Creek driving a 2006 Ford Freestyle veered into a utility pole as she was heading south on Highway 9, according to a report from California Highway Patrol. According to the report, for an undetermined reason, the Ford crossed over into the northbound lane and left the roadway where the front of the Ford struck a utility pole. As a result of the collision, the pole was sheared and fell on top of the car, blocking the road with utility wires attached. The collision remains under investigation. A 46-year-old man was also in the car at the time as a passenger in the Ford. His condition is not known at this time, according to law enforcement.
