A Porsche driver suffered minor injuries when his car collided with a telephone pole Tuesday, but the falling pole blocked eastbound Highway 4 for hours, the California Highway Patrol said.
The crash was reported about 1:54 p.m. on Highway 4 eastbound at Franklyn Canyon Road, the CHP said.
It wasn't immediately clear why the Porsche drove off the roadway and into the pole, the highway patrol said. The driver declined medical assistance. DUI was not suspected to be involved, police said.
Caltrans blocked all on-ramps to Highway 4 eastbound from Interstate 80 to Franklyn Canyon Road.
The highway reopened just after 5 a.m. Wednesday, Caltrans said.
