CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- An electrical pole fell on a parked car Wednesday after a truck crashed into low-hanging power lines near DePaul University’s Lincoln Park campus on the North Side.
The rental truck hit the power lines about 1:55 p.m. in the 2400 block of North Sheffield Avenue, according to Chicago police. The power lines then pulled the pole down onto the vehicle.
A video posted to Twitter shows the pole on top of a white car as a truck is stopped and snagged on the wires in the entrance of a nearby parking lot.
