Multiple High-Voltage Power Lines Fall, Severe Injuries In Livermore Solo Crash

LIVERMORE, CA — A car crashed into a live power pole in Livermore Saturday, resulting in serious injuries and the collapse of multiple high-voltage power lines, according to the Alameda County Fire Department.

On July 5, a car crashed into a pole on Greenville Road, trapping two victims in the car with severe injuries. The crash also caused severe damage to the car, and multiple high-voltage power lines to fall to the ground.

Emergency crews performed an extended extrication, which was challenged by the car's significant damage and position next to a brick wall.

Both victims sustained severe injuries and were airlifted to nearby trauma centers, according to ACFD.

Crews from ACFD, the Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department, the California Highway Patrol, Reach 2 emergency air and ground transport, and Falck Ambulance responded, according to ACFD.
