A vehicle accident shut down Sunset Drive at Diablo Ave after a pole was damaged and wires were down in the roadway just before 12:00 pm Thursday.<\/p>\n

The accident was caused by an undisclosed medical condition which caused a truck to go off the roadway into a pole, while hitting multiple vehicles before taking out a fire hydrant.<\/p>\n

The incident all caused downed wires which started a small vegetation fire and required Contra Costa County Fire and American Medical Response to respond along with Antioch Public Works.<\/p>\n

The vegetation fire was small and fire crews had it out within 10-minutes, however, fire crews remained on scene for 90-minutes.<\/p>\n

The driver was taken to a local hospital by AMR.<\/p>\n

No further information was released.<\/p>\n
