Downed light pole blocks Highway 152 for an hour Friday
Carol Brimm
A light pole near the new Carnival Pizza was knocked over by a cement truck on Friday causing traffic to be blocked off on SH 152 for approximately an hour. Fire Chief, Carl Hickman, said the light pole, which fell across SH 152, was fed by power from and underground service and a “hot” service cable running from another pole across SH 152 was connected to the pole as well.
“As soon as OG&E got there and shut the power off to the light pole and the cable we were able to clean up the broken glass,” Hickman said. “Two of our trucks and five firemen responded to the call and there were no injuries.”
Hickman said calls to the fire department have been down for the last week or so.
