NEWTON, Mass. (WHDH) — No one was injured after a large spool of cable rolled down a street in Newton on Tuesday.
Officials said the spool was on a trailer when it rolled off and went through a busy intersection across Chestnut Street. It them smashed into a power pole and fence.
The spool, which weighs 6,300 pounds, contains fiber-optic cable that crews were installing in the area.
“It’s lucky that spool didn’t hit a car because that’s a busy road,” said Fred Pignatelli, who lives at the apartment where the spool crashed into a fence.
No one was injured by the spool.
