PHOTO: Vehicle sheers utility pole on Freedom Boulevard

A tow truck operator from Auto Care Towing prepares to haul a Honda Accord away after the driver crashed through a utility pole (left) on the 2100 block of Freedom Boulevard Tuesday morning. Watsonville Police traffic officer Corey Johnston said a male driver of the Honda sideswiped an SUV as he was merging from Buena Vista Drive to southbound Freedom Boulevard around 7:45am. After the collision the Honda veered to the right and sheered the utility pole off at the base. The Honda driver then took off on foot while the SUV driver remained on the scene. No injuries were reported. The Honda driver was not located.

    • Wow, thank goodness Steve is here to direct the Watsonville PD. They would never have thought about finding and arresting the driver of the Honda had he not made that observation.

      And again, he uses the derogatory word ‘snitch’, all caps of course. Hey due to the WPD in all caps, along with his propensity to put snitch in all caps, his reply actually had correct punctuation!!! Miracles never cease.
