Two Injured in Glenn Street Vehicle Crash [Humboldt, CA]

Humboldt, CA (December 28, 2021) – On Monday, two people incurred injuries in a Glenn Street vehicle crash.

This traffic collision happened at about 10:05 p.m. at the West Harris Street intersection.

Officers said a black sedan struck a power pole. 

As a result, the pole was sheared off and high voltage lines were severed. 130 PG&E customers lost power in the Fort Humboldt and West Harris area.

Witnesses said that the vehicle looks like the entire front end was smashed in. 

Immediately, an ambulance responded and assisted the two patients.

The perverse actions of a reckless driver can increase the likelihood of traffic collisions. If you are a driver, pay close attention to those around you. Always keep a considerable distance from others just in case harm is near. It is always better to practice defensive driving.

What To Do in Case of Traffic Collision?

While driving is essential for many in order to move about in their lives, it is one of the most dangerous activities performed daily.
 
That is because auto accidents are a major public health threat. Traffic accidents are a leading cause of death for individuals ages 5-64.
 
That is why it is indeed crucial that everyone drives defensively in order to avoid traffic accidents as much as possible.
 
Meanwhile, here are some of the things that we can do to practice defensive driving:
 
-First, always drive at a controllable speed.
 
-Then, it is also important not to assume you know the other driver’s intention.
 
– Also, be prepared to positively react to other drivers.
 
-This one, we should never neglect. Yield at intersections, even if you have right of way.
 
– Most importantly, stay focused on the road. Remove all distractions such as mobile phone use, unstrapped toddlers, etc.
