Crash closes road connecting San Bernardino, Orange counties

Last Updated on January 18, 2023 by C-CAR

BREA >> A canyon road connecting Orange and San Bernardino counties was closed Saturday and would probably remain closed into Sunday morning after a vehicle crashed into a utility pole, snapping it and taking down power lines.

No one was injured when the vehicle left the road and slammed into the wooden pole about 10 a.m. on Carbon Canyon Road, also known as Highway 142, near Olinda Road, said Brea police Lt. Bill Smyser.

A utility crew was at the scene making repairs and both directions of the road were closed between Santa Fe Avenue and the county line, Smyser said.

That stretch of the road, a major commuter route on weekdays, wasn’t expected to reopen before 2 a.m., Smyser said.
