Truck Crash Brings Down Power Lines In Livonia; Haggerty Rd. Closed

LIVONIA (WWJ) - Motorists and residents are being asked to stay away after multiple power lines came down in Livonia.

Livonia police say a cement truck hit a power pole Tuesday afternoon, bringing electrical wires down across Haggerty Rd. As a result, Haggerty is completely closed in both directions between 5 Mile and 6 Mile roads.

WWJ Traffic Reporter Tracy McCaskill said a DTE Energy crew responded to the scene and was working on cleanup and repairs, which were expected to take some time.

DTE reminds the public never to touch or approach a broken power line. People in the immediate area are urged to remain indoors as a precaution.

It's unclear at this time what caused the crash. No injuries have been reported.
