A driver suffered major injuries after crashing into a power pole near Thousand Palms today.
The driver, an adult with three other passengers in his gray Chevrolet SUV, spun off the road and collided with the pole at around 1:40 p.m. Wednesday, according to California Highway Patrol spokesman David Torres.
A male juvenile also suffered a leg laceration in the incident, Torres told City News Service. The other passengers, a woman and a juvenile girl, were not injured.
IID's Public Information Officer Robert Schettler ensured that the company is in the process of replacing the pole and that "there will be no customers out of power while [doing so]."
