A semi-truck accident in Wilson County resulted in the closure of a road after the vehicle veered off and struck a power pole, causing it and the attached wires to fall. The incident took place at the intersection of E. Division Street and Posey Hill Road, prompting Middle Tennessee Electric to close the road. Authorities estimate the closure will last approximately five to six hours, according to a report from WSMV.
The Wilson County Sheriff's Office reported that no injuries were sustained in the incident, easing concerns about potential casualties. However, the event caused significant disruption, leading to the indefinite closure of the road as crews work to address the damaged infrastructure, according to WKRN.
Although initial reopening estimates have been mentioned, the use of the term “indefinitely” suggests uncertainty about when the road will fully reopen. This uncertainty has been reflected in updates shared by the Wilson County Sheriff's Office on a social media post. "E Division St @ N Posey Hill Rd is currently shut down indefinitely per Middle Tennessee Electric (MTEMC)," the Sheriff's Office detailed further emphasizing the potential extended nature of the closure.
