The pole, which is behind a business on Gratiot Avenue, appears to be cracked toward the base. The lines fell over the truck.

DTE crews are working to fix it.

A similar situation happened Friday when a semi truck hit a wire behind the Arby's restaurant near 9 Mile Road and Harper Avenue in St. Clair Shores. No one was injured in that accident.
