Truck Hits Wires, Which Drag Down Pole in Southington

SOUTHINGTON, CT — A high truck took out some low wires in Southington on Thursday.

At 10:35 p.m. Thursday, Southington police received a report that the top right front corner of a tractor-trailer made contact with a set of utility wires on Spring Street near the intersection of Queen Street.

The pole had several transformers attached to it, police said.

Wires were down across Spring Street at the intersection of Queen Street.

No injuries were reported.
