Just after 4:30pm, Tuesday afternoon, Rural Metro Fire was dispatchted to a rollover crash that took out a power pole and power lines on Ponderosa Lane at Nursery Lane, just outside of Grants Pass.
Serious injuries were avoided after the driver self-extricated and maneuvered around downed powerlines to safety.
The Josephine County Sheriff’s Office is investigating.
As a reminder, all damaged powerlines should be treated as “live” even when no arcing is observed. Always give a wide berth, as electricity is known to travel through the ground.
