Tractor-trailor accidentally pulls down power lines

PPL crews responded to the 1900 block of Princeton Avenue in Old Lycoming Township to make repairs after a tractor-trailer truck driver accidentally pulled down some wires about 2:20 p.m. Thursday, according to township police. The truck snagged the wires with such force that a pole snapped off and rolled on top of a parked SUV before landing on the ground. The electrical meters to a nearby apartment building also were pulled from their foundation. No one was injured, police said.
