According to Bohnert, the first
pole which was knocked down, ap-
proximately 05 feet before Beatty
Street, fell across Hindsman’s truck
between the cab and the front of the
trailer.
Apparently not knowing what had
happened, the driver continued on
and took out another pole on Beatty
around'tike corner of* Feagln,
Bohnert said.
According to the police report,
Bohnert dted the contributing factor
of the incident to be insufficient
overhead dears nee and a possible
contributing factor to be oversize
vehicle or load.
He said the Texas Department of
Public Safety was called to measure
and that Hndsman’s load limit was
14 feet, but that fata load measured 14
feet and 10 inches.
However, Bohnert said it ap-
peared that the collision had shifted
some of the load and that It la possi-
ble that had the load been In its
original resting place it would have
measured 14 feet.
Bohnert also said that a member
of the city electrical crew indicated
that a 10-foot clearance Is supposed
to be maintained.
Hlndanan escaped uninjured and
with very minor damage to Ms
truck.
The city is still attempting to
determine the amount of damage
done to city property, Bohnert in-
dicated, adding that the telephone
and cable companies had to restring
some of their Unas.
Bohnert said that although It did
not relate to the collision, Hinds men
was cited for having a load that was
too long.
