Truck Hits Electrical Pole and Fire Ignites

A simple truck accident led to a fire last week in Matawan. Eyewitness reports show that a garbage truck was driving when it struck an electrical pole unexpectedly. The driver told police that he could not see the fire pole, thus there was no way to avoid the accident. The impact of the crash caused the pole to snap and short out an electrical meter box. Several people saw sparks flying from the meter box which caused a small fire.

There was minimal damage to the building as the fire was contained quickly. At this time, the driver has not been charged for his involvement in the trucking accident.
