VICTORVILLE, Calif. (VVNG.com) — No injuries were reported after a semi crashed into a truck and knocked down a utility pole Tuesday afternoon in Victorville.

At about 12:27 pm on November 2, 2021, a semi-tractor-trailer traveling westbound on D Street was involved in a traffic collision with a pickup truck at the intersection of Seventh Street.

A wooden utility pole was completely destroyed and lodged within the trailer. According to a witness, the driver of the semi reported he lost his brakes and was unable to stop.
