An incident in White Settlement may have caused an unexpected interruption last Thursday. A Frontier Trash truck, while maneuvering to empty a dumpster, made contact with a power line on the 1700 block of S Cherry Lane. This encounter resulted in local authorities taking swift action to secure the area and assess any potential risks to public safety.

According to the City of White Settlement on their Facebook page, the White Settlement Police Department, aided by the White Settlement and Lockheed Fire Departments, promptly responded to the scene. In a precautionary move, the nearby building was evacuated to ensure the well-being of its occupants while the situation was further investigated.

The response teams worked alongside Oncor, the electricity company, which arrived on-site to handle the aftermath of the incident. This collaboration is part of the ongoing efforts to maintain infrastructure safety and quickly address any incidents that could disrupt local residents' electrical services or pose a threat to the community. As of now, there have been no reports of injuries or significant damages as a consequence of the collision.

Oncor has not yet released a full statement on the accident or estimated a time for full restoration of any disrupted services. However, residents in the affected area are advised to stay clear of the location as cleanup and repairs are underway. It is always a priority to ensure the safety of both the public and the workers attending such unexpected events, and updates will likely follow as the situation unfolds.
