A video circulating on social media appears to show a dump truck knocked down a power pole and was dragging it down a narrow road in Maple Ridge, while the startled occupants of an oncoming smaller vehicle shouted at the trucker to stop.
It reportedly happened along Fern Crescent near 244th Street in Maple Ridge, close to Golden Ears Provincial Park, on Wednesday, March 24, forcing police to shut down Fern Crescent to all traffic.
Recorded by the front passenger in the smaller car, the clip shows the pole had become tangled up with the dump truck bed behind the truck cab, dragging wires, a concrete post used for a support, as well as the pole, into the oncoming lane of the narrow paved road while the driver of the smaller car honked its horn and shouted at the truck to stop.
