John Deer Tractor Pulls Down Power Lines on Sedwick Road - KiiiTV3.com South Texas, Corpus Christi, Coastal Bend

The driver of a John Deer tractor unknowingly snagged some low-hanging power lines, pulling down two poles at 11 a.m. Friday on Sedwick Road.

Both of the poles snapped, one of them landing dangerously close to a home in that area, near Southern Minerals Road.

A witness said the driver of the tractor climbed out of his vehicle while the downed wires were still hot, but there were no injuries as a result of the incident.

Police said no tickets will be issued. The stretch of road was closed for a few hours while American Electric Power worked to de-electrify the wires.
