Just after 8:00 a.m. Thursday morning a northbound dump truck lost control of his vehicle just south of 750 East tearing down a pole and entangling the truck in wires.

According to police and eyewitness reports, a southbound school bus was approaching with it’s yellow flashers on when the dump truck lost control and landed here.

The truck was filled with gravel and the driver was uninjured, however for safety reasons he stayed in the vehicle for quite some time until AEP crews arrived to secure the lines and ensure rescue workers the lines were no longer energized.

As of 10:30 a.m. AEP was reporting that it could be 2-3 more hours before the highway was opened back up.
