Orland, CA :Tractor-trailer's burnt axle is strapped to a flatbed truck Wednesday near Orland on September 17, 2014

A tractor-trailer crashed into an electrical pole around noon Wednesday on Glenn County Road 200 in Orland, sparking a fire that burned an abandoned house and leaving about 400 people without power for hours. The California Highway Patrol is investigating the accident, after the big-rig rolled over about a mile west of Interstate 5, spilling corn silage and injuring the driver. CHP officer J.O. Stokes said the driver may have had a medical condition that caused him to lose control. He was taken to Enloe Medical Center with injuries that Stokes said were, "not too serious." The fire began after the tractor-trailer broke an electrical pole on the side of the road, Stokes said. Flames sparked when the live power lines caught brush in a field on fire and spread to a house which was abandoned, Stokes said. No one was injured in the fire. The Orland Fire Department was able to contain the fire quickly and keep smaller spot fires from growing in windy conditions with help from other local fire departments, Stokes said. PG&E was expected to have the power turned back by 10 p.m., he said. The power lines twisted when the pole broke. Authorities closed traffic at county roads FF and 200 and at county roads 12 and 200 until around 5 p.m. when crews had cleaned up the tractor-trailer, its load of corn silage and the diesel fuel that spilled, according to the CHP website. Telephone lines were also damaged in the crash. PG&E crews monitored one-way traffic on the road while repairing the lines, Stokes said.
