At approximately 10:45 a.m. Tuesday, a car was driven off Highway126, immediately before the Pole Creek crossing. The vehicle, with elderly driver and no passengers, left the roadway, crossed through the grassy park area and collided with a power pole, a distance estimated at 100 feet, 50-feet from the edge of the Pole Creek storm drain channel. The driver was quickly assisted by members of the County Sheriff’s Department, Fillmore Fire Department, and Fillmore’s emergency medical unit. (Note from publisher: If you’re going to be in an accident - let it happen in Fillmore. No better assistance in the county is available!)
