Driver Stuck In Truck By Live Power Lines After Highway 95A Wreck
October 14, 2019
A driver was stuck in his truck about half an hour Monday afternoon, surrounded by live power lines.
The driver of a work truck lost control on Highway 95A north of Old Chemstrand Road and struck a power pole. The pole was snapped into at least three pieces, and another pole was broken in half, sending power lines down near ground level. The uninjured man remained in the truck until Gulf Power arrived and cut off the electricity. He was not injured.
Nearly 750 Gulf Power customers were left without power once it was cut by utility workers.
Highway 95A was closed by the wreck.
The Florida Highway Patrol is investigating the crash.
