Semi snags overhead wire in Miamisburg

MIAMISBURG —

AT&T crews were called to North First Street at East Ferry Street to repair a telephone wire damaged earlier Wednesday when a semitrailer apparently snagged it and nearly brought it down.

Gary Gilles, city public information officer, confirmed for News Center 7 that the semitrailer was on North First when it snagged a low-hanging wire and stretched it at about 11 a.m. The wire was not broken and there was no loss of phone service, he said.

The driver, who was not identified by name, did stop the vehicle. There were no injuries. Gilles said he was not aware of any traffic citations being issued to the driver.

One lane of traffic was blocked while repairs were completed.
