Wreck on Washington

Published 12:00 am Friday, June 5, 2009

A 1995 Ford F-150 holds up a severed utility pole on Washington Street near Klein Street Thursday afternoon after the truck hit the pole and dislodged it. Carl King, 49, 810 Clark St., was northbound on Washington when he fell asleep.  The vehicle left the road, jumped the curb and hit the pole. King was not injured and will not be cited for any violations.  About 200 Entergy customers were without electricity for a few hours while the pole was replaced, Entergy spokesman Don Arnold said.
