A semi truck struck a utility pole on Sunday at the intersection of Falls of Rough Road and Choncie Lee Road.
The incident occurred Sunday afternoon at approximately 1:30 when a semi truck, turning from the 3300 block of Falls of Rough Road onto Choncie Lee Road, struck a utility pole, snapping it in half. As the lines dropped, an RV snagged a low-hanging line, pulling the lines further toward the ground.
According to the Caneyville Fire Department, private citizens, knowing firefighters were battling a large woods fire, directed traffic through the area for about two hours before Caneyville fire personnel took over.
The Kentucky Department of Transportation also arrived on scene.
The roadway, which initially had one lane open, was completely shut down due to the hazard being in a curve and heavy traffic in the area.
Line workers arrived and replaced the pole and reattached lines.
The roadway reopened at approximately 7:45.
