On Monday afternoon a delivery truck owned by A Duie PYLY was traveling on Packard Avenue in Somerville when it hit a utility guide wire causing two utility light poles and a transformer to collapse.

Over sixty Somerville homes lost power and it also caused massive traffic tie up with a very dangerous situation.

Somerville Police and Somerville Firefighters blocked off the street from end to end where the polls were down to prevent any bystanders from getting electrocuted.

NStar arrived on scene to stabilize the wires and restore power to the neighborhood homes that were affected.
