McBean Crash Near CalArts Knocks Down Light Pole, Blocking Lanes

A McBean crash Wednesday afternoon resulted in a light pole being knocked down, blocking traffic, officials said.

Around 3:19 p.m. Wednesday, first responders received reports of a two-vehicle traffic collision near Tournament Road and McBean Parkway in Valencia, said Marvin Lim, a spokesperson for the Los Angeles County Fire Department.

One of the cars reportedly struck a light pole, causing it to fall, according to officials.

“McBean is blocked just west of Tournament,” said Lt Jim Royal with the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station.

As of the publication of this article, it is unclear if there were any injuries, according to officials.

About Louie Diaz

Louie was born and raised in Santa Clarita. At the age of two Louie lost his vision due to a brain tumor. However, Louie doesn't let blindness stop him from doing what ever it is he wants to accomplish. Growing up some of his favorite hobbies were wood working, fishing and riding bikes. Louie graduated from College of the Canyon in December of 2017, with a Broadcast Journalism degree. Growing up Louie has always wanted to be a fire fighter or a police officer, but because of his blindness Louie knew that wouldn't work. Louie has always loved listening to police and fire radio traffic, using a scanner, and he figured if he was going to listen to the scanner so much, he should do something with it.
