4/22/13 - No injuries were reported, but a traffic mess was the result, after a garbage truck brought down a power line earlier today in Oceola Township. M-59 had to be closed down around 11am between Hughes and Gulley roads after a Waste Management trash hauling truck caused a main power line to fall across both lanes of traffic. Officials say the truck likely had its bucket in the upright position when it came into contact with power line and brought it down. The drive was uninjured and there was no other damage than the downed line itself, which took about 90 minutes to restore by a DTE Energy crew. While that work was taking place, authorities had to divert traffic away from the area, which created a traffic headache for many motorists. (JK)
