At about 2:30 pm, a tractor trailer was coming out of an office facility's driveway on Evesham Road, just west of Springdale and snagged the overhead wires on the top of the truck's cab. The accident pulled down wires and the pole they were attached to. The driver managed to escape unharmed. There were no other vehicles involved. There were no injuries reported.
The Cherry Hill Fire Department responded as a precaution because of the wires burning and the fact that they were down on a vehicle. Voorhees and Cherry Hill Police kept Evesham Road blocked between Springdale and Berlin Roads for several hours (still at 6 pm) while PSE & G cut power to the downed wires, and restored service - during the afternoon rush hour. Several hundred public utility customers had periodic disruption in their services.
