I’ll keep my gas car
Why would anyone buy a car that could turn into an inferno if it gets in a crash or gets wet?
Now reported as a two-vehicle collision with one vehicle into the power pole, causing down power lines. The vehicle into the pole is an EV with auto fire and it will be an extended duration operation because firefighters can not get close to the vehicle due to the power lines. LAFD HazMat is enroute to assist. Two patients are being evaluated for what appear to be minor injuries, there have not yet been any hospital transports. The intersection is closed and drivers are advised to seek alternate routes. No further updates are anticipated. LAPD Inc#1905
