GEORGETOWN— Some towns in southern Indiana woke up without power this morning.
A dump truck, in an unexpected turn of events, knocked out several utility poles and power lines after driving along State Road 62 with its bed raised.
The incident happened sometime Wednesday morning in Floyd County, just outside Georgetown off Interstate 64. It was unclear when the crash occurred, but police say the dump truck knocked out a utility pole and damaged several power lines.
State police also couldn’t provide a clear timeline, leaving uncertainty about how long the utility poles were dragged along the road, how long the truck drove with its bed up, or if any mechanical malfunction contributed to the incident.
State Road 62 in Georgetown was expected to be closed between Yenowine and Nance lanes until the area was cleared, officers say.
