Delivery Truck Bounces Off Objects In STARworks Parking Lot

On Monday Afternoon, a delivery truck hit a couple of items in the parking lot of STARworks Ceramics.  After bumping into the propane tank and knocking it off of its footing the driver proceeded to pull away from the loading dock.  Much to his and everyone else's surprise he drove away with the support cable for the power line.  Two power line polls came crashing to the ground and started a chain of events which resulted in the guard station on the corner of the back lot burning to the ground.

Star Fire Department could not do anything until the power company shut off the power to the line.  Imagine 12,000 volts getting sprayed with water.

WOW!

Please let us know next year, so we can come watch the Christmas light show at Starworks.

I liked the house-on-fire lights at the end of the clip best.

That may be a more dazzling display than the fireworks on Bud Rd.
