Semi Brings Down Wires in Windsor Park

May 8, 2010 2:40 PM CDT | News


Traffic was blocked for about two hours Saturday morning after the top of a truck passed under what appeared to be telephone wires in the Windsor Park area. A witness on scene tells ChrisD.ca a Star Building Materials semi-trailer brought down the wires after its boom got caught.

Police had the intersection near Speers Road and Maginot Street closed from about 10:45 a.m. onward while crews cleaned up the area.

The east side of the intersection was closed to Highway 59, but has since reopened.

Power in the area appeared to be unaffected.
