Fortunately only near where I work, and not directly Arborcultural.

Authorities say that a dump truck with the paving operation in the northbound lanes of Connecticut Avenue went through the intersection with the bed of his truck in the up position between midnight and 1 a.m. It snagged and tore down wires on the northbound side, which eventually brought down poles on the southbound side.

Will be subject of the next tailgate safety though.
 
Some tippers on bigger trucks with air over hydraulics are way too easy to activate. My old cable operated pto is a ***** to engage, but no way you'll accidentally activate that thing.
 
What does tailgate safety have to do with a dump bed hitting wires?

He may have been pouring asphalt into the paver?
