MEDFORD, MASS. (WHDH) - Two utility poles fell down in Medford Monday, taking out wires and crushing part of a fence, according to officials. Power has since been restored to the area.
Sky 7 HD flew over the scene on Arlington Street just before 6 p.m., showing the poles on the ground with with wires laying in the yards of multiple homes. Police said four homes lost power or were affected by the poles’ collapse.
Part of Arlington Street was closed while National Grid crews worked to clear up the area. Linemen replaced the poles, and worked to get the wires back up.
The man who lives in one of the homes that was affected said the poles that came down are decades old, and were there long before he moved in nearly 30 years ago.
No word on what caused the poles to come down.
