FedEx tractor trailer takes out utility poles

Farmington CT- A FedEx tractor trailer brought down a utility pole on Wyndwood Rd just after 4pm on Wednesday afternoon leaving a few hundred residents without power.

According to police, the truck got stuck in the power lines which crossed the road, and pulled on the pole snapping it in two.

When police arrived, the pole was sitting on top of the truck preventing the driver from exiting his vehicle. Connecticut Light and Power had to turn off power to the lines so that the driver could get out of the cab of the truck.

The truck accident shut off power to hundreds of residents. Police had to shut down traffic in the area. It took crews close to 12 hours to clean up the wires.

The driver of the truck was not injured.

Though no one was injured in this accident there was significant property damage. The damages incurred in a truck accident can end up being very costly. A truck accident attorney can be retained to seek compensation for the damages and property replacement.

There are many truck accidents that do involve personal injury. Truck accident lawyers know that these injuries can become very expensive for the victim and will work hard to build a strong case.  If a person is seeking compensation for their injury a truck accident attorney will apply their expertise to guarantee their clients receive a favorable settlement.
