A crash involving four vehicles on Hwy. 29 in American Canyon sent a mother and daughter to the hospital and snarled traffic for a few hours late Friday night according to Sgt. Mike Hunter with the American Canyon Police Department.

Around 11 p.m., the mother and daughter, who's names were not available at press time, were northbound on Hwy. 29 just past Green Island Road in American Canyon when they veered off the highway and overturned, partially downing a utility pole that held wires suspended across the highway, according to Hunter. An Oakland man following the couple in a box truck snagged the lowered wires, flipped on its side and brought the southbound-side utility pole completely down, Hunter said.
An American Canyon resident driving in a pickup truck southbound on Hwy. 29 became tangled in the mess of wires and hit a Toyota Camry driven by a Vallejo woman, also in the southbound lanes Hunter said.

The mother and daughter were treated and released at Kaiser Vallejo. No one else was injured in the accident according to Hunter.
