Southwater Street reopened after live wire blocked the road
Southwater Street, Southwater, has reopened after being closed due to a fallen electricty cable covering the road.
The police arrived at the scene around 9am this morning and closed part of the road.
UK Power arrived at 4pm and fixed the issue, allowing the road to reopen.
The power line was hit by a passing cattle lorry, causing the live wire to fall and block the road.
Zowie Fleming, Southwater resident, said she heard a loud bang and her children noticed “hanging wires” outside, as well as her power going off.
