Cedar Lake Road Accident

Accident cuts power to 87 BH customersBy Thursday, March 27, 2008 - Bangor Daily News
LONG A TOWNSHIP - A logging truck accident on Cedar Lake Road left 87 Bangor Hydro customers without electricity, telephone and cable television service for most of Thursday, a company spokeswoman said.
The extent of accident injuries is unknown. Six utility poles and their lines were strewn across the roadway by the accident, which was near Route 11 and Millinocket, said Susan Faloon, a company spokeswoman.
"Our crews are still there," Faloon said early Thursday afternoon. "We were due to get the equipment we need to repair it out there at noon and at that point Cedar Lake Road was to be closed down."
The accident was reported at about 6:45 a.m., dispatchers at the Piscatiquis County Sheriff’s Department said. Although the accident is not in their area, they took the call and dispatched Bangor Hydro to the scene, they said.
Electricity is expected to be restored by 8 p.m. Thursday.
Anyone who has lost utilities due to the accident is asked to call Bangor Hydro at 1-800-440-1111.


I will try to get more information on this accident and post it.
