A woman was forced to spend 20 minutes in her SUV while it had live power lines on it after they came down when a truck crashed into a power pole in west Edmonton late Thursday afternoon.
A spokesperson for Edmonton Fire Rescue Services told Global News firefighters were called to the scene at 5:09 p.m. The situation unfolded when a gravel truck crashed into a power pole at 113 Street and 100 Avenue. No injuries or power outages were reported. Fire crews stayed at the scene until a crew from EPCOR arrived.
She commended fire crews for arriving so quickly and said the situation was taken care of when EPCOR cut the lines.
“What are the chances that you’re just leaving an appointment and all of a sudden, the power lines right beside your car and the lines are on your car.”
