The California Highway Patrol announced that all lanes were blocked on Highway 4 at Franklin Canyon Road after a Porsche struck a telephone pole in Hercules.
According to CHP, on August 20, 2024, at approximately 1:54pm CHP Contra Costa was advised of a solo vehicle crash on SR-4 (highway 4) eastbound, at Franklyn Canyon Road involving a red Porsche vs a telephone pole blocking all lanes. CHP and other emergency services arrived on scene to render aid.
For reasons still under investigation, the adult male driver, and sole occupant of the Porsche, drove his vehicle off the roadway and crashed into a telephone pole. The pole subsequently fell into the roadway, blocking all lanes. The driver sustained suspected minor injuries and declined medical assistance. DUI was not suspected to be involved.
PG&E is on scene working to safely clear the road. Caltrans is blocking all on-ramps to SR-4 eastbound from I-80 to Franklyn Canyon Road.
There is no estimated time of opening at this time. Drivers are encouraged to take eastbound Cummings Skyway to bypass until lanes can be reopened.
