IDAHO FALLS — Emergency crews are responding to Craig Avenue and East 21st St. after a dump truck became caught in a power line and brought down the pole this morning.
The back of the truck appears to have snagged the line, which fell onto the road and at least two homes and their yards. The power pole is broken and will need to be replaced. The driver of the truck was not injured.
Portions of East 21st St. are closed while Idaho Falls Power crews work to repair the line. Idaho Falls Police and Fire are assisting. Drivers are asked to avoid the area.
