Dump Truck Hits Tulsa Power Lines Causing Outages

A dump truck pulled down several power lines near 46th and Memorial Friday afternoon. The bed of the dump truck was up, snagging the lines behind the Bob Moore car dealership.

Public Service of Oklahoma said they are going to have to replace four poles.

The company was able to reroute power to most customers, but 45 people were still out of power as of 9 p.m. Estimated power restoration was 12:30 a.m. Saturday.

About 500 customers were without power near 56th and Owasso. PSO said a switch burned up at that location.
