Wires and street lights were down in Chocowinity in Beaufort County Monday night.
A tractor trailer carrying a 126 foot construction beam smashed into a telephone pole on the intersection of Highway 33 and Highway 17.
The beam bent the pole in half knocking down power lines and traffic lights causing roads in all directions to be closed.
Fortunately nobody was injured in the crash.

To Nurset; Thank you. If everybody would just spend one day sitting in the passenger seat riding with a truck driver, they would see what it is we go through everyday. Some people think that we are just "steering wheel holders" but driving a truck is a very stressful profession. And you are right, there are some "bad" truck drivers (I could name a few) but for the most part the good ones spend their day trying not to run over the "bad" car drivers.

I had to post again. The headline isn't even correct. There was no power outage. It was traffic lights, not electrical lines. It there was any outage, it was to the traffice lights when they changed to poles out.
