WALTHAM, MASS. (WHDH) - A worker was freed after being trapped in a construction vehicle in Waltham Friday.
A power pole hit by the lull truck crashed down at around 8:30 a.m. and sent wires onto a car parked nearby.
The accident happened at Castle and Pond streets. The worker was not injured.
Eversource was working to replace the downed pole, saying the wires were not active when they fell.
Power was shut off in the area as a precaution, with nearby residents left without heat.
“59 degrees right now in the house. I can’t even do my puzzles — I can’t see,” one neighbor said.
