    Said it was a "Freak" accident. That dump trucks insurance is going to pay big time.

    "A dump truck with a raised bed went through a construction zone and “somehow snagged” a utility wire stretched across I-30."

    Not really a "freak accident" when you are cruising down the road with a raised bed.

    Glad no one was injured...or worse. :mmeek:

    Imagine what the call to safety was like. Driver: "Boss, I was hit by a power pole", Boss: "you mean you hit a power pole?", Driver: "no, I was driving down the road and this power pole and power line came out of nowhere and hit me",

    The way the trip wire cut through the trailer is fascinating. You'd think it would have just broke.
