 High voltage power line zaps dump truck.
High voltage power line zaps dump truck.
A man had to deliver some sand.

Unfortunately there were power lines in the way.

Fortunately his truck fit under the power lines.

Unfortunately he raised the back of the dump truck, hit the power lines, and set his truck on fire.

Fortunately he was already at the fire station.

Unfortunately they had to watch the truck burn for 45 minutes until the power could be shut off. picked by Fanatic 2 years ago
