Silverado Trail Blocked After Crash Into Power Pole

NAPA VALLEY, CA — Silverado Trail remained closed Thursday morning from Oakville Cross Road to state Highway 128 following a traffic collision Wednesday that left power lines down in the roadway, according to California Highway Patrol and the Napa County Sheriff's Office.

A two-vehicle crash was reported at about 5:30 p.m Wednesday on Silverado Trail just south of SR-128. The collision left a power pole and power lines down across both lanes of Silverado Trail, according to CHP.

There were also reports on the CHP log that the road closure left some folks stranded at a nearby winery, and that electrical transformers were damaged in the crash.

PG&E has responded to the scene.

Thursday morning, Napa sheriff's officials reported the road closure was resulting in heavy traffic congestion on Highway 29 from north Napa to St. Helena.

At 11:30 a.m. Thursday, CHP Officer Marc Renspurger told Patch the roadway remained closed. He was also hearing reports of traffic delays because of the closure, he said.

Patch has a call into PG&E regarding the status of the equipment repairs.
