Fallen wire causes delays on Cranberry Highway

Dec 30, 2016

Wareham Police and Onset Fire departments responded to a car crash on Cranberry Highway, where a truck struck an electrical pole. The crash caused backup along the highway during the beginning of rush-hour traffic on Friday afternoon, around 3 p.m.

Crews unraveled a hose in case a fire broke out while working to clear the scene.

The 18-year-old man driving the truck said he was trying to avoid a car stopped in the middle of the road and he ultimately crashed into the pole. The driver was not injured and not identified.
