not the driver's fault , just the overhead wire not install with the proper ground clearance , so wherever it is , the electric utilities company is in trouble , but they don't care .

There is a minimum distance from the ground for all Wires no matter if power,phone,or cable.I believe it is 14 foot minimum might be 15 foot.The max height for a semi truck is 13 foot 6 inches before a permit.That is why if you snag a line and pull down a mile of cable they can't do anything to the trucker or trucking company.Not their fault.

I side with the driver on this one. If that stop regularly takes big rigs then it should be their responsibility to keep all power lines above 15ft. or have a sign warning of such danger. I know the trucking industry bullshit of being aware of your surroundings but come on, a low cable in a wide open space like that...who would have thought.

@denelson83 Nope. Minimizing the damage and the danger. Same rule should apply on the freeway. Some dickless wonder decides to merge into your passenger side door and the cars are driveable, both cars should drive up to the next off ramp to investigate/report it.

@FormerWMDriver Trucks ought to have the cable strike hardware that Helicopters have. That would prevent a lot of damage to the trucks!

@wompasdub That would be so AWESOME! Like God himself was pissed at the kid!

Augy lol.
The trucker did the right thing by driving off, you can see the arcing between the trailer and the cab. If he stopped, he would have possibly had to choose between electrocution or burning to death in the rig. I'm guessing the arcs were his trailer disconnects burning up, so he may have had smoke or fire coming out of the dash as well.

dont´t blame the truckers, the problem is rotten poles and low-hanging wires.
