Palm Springs police are asking residents to avoid the area of S. Gene Autry Trail from Dinah Shore and Mesquite Avenue to Seven Lakes Drive.

Officers closed part of those roads just after 5:00 this morning after a traffic collision damaged a power pole.

No details have been released on how many vehicles were involved or if there were any injuries.

Edison crews are working to repair the damage.

There is currently no estimate for when the road closure will be lifted.

It is still recommended that drivers use Crossley Road or El Cielo to avoid traffic delays in the area.
