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.
