Truck driver sends utility pole into restaurant
The Sac County, Iowa Sheriff’s office says they’re investigating what caused a semi to start a chain reaction accident that sent a utility pole into an Early, Iowa restaurant.
Authorities say 38 year-old Glen Forbes was driving a trailer loaded with wind turbine blades when the rear steering malfunctioned.
The trailer veered into a utility pole, throwing it across the road and into Mary’s Dairy Restaurant.
Luckily no one was injured, but flying debris caused damages to nearby cars and the restaurant adding up to nearly $11,000.
