VIDEO: Dashcam of trucker vs overhead electrical cable

Ken Oliver shared this video on his YouTube channel over the weekend.

This video is captioned saying, “Check out the impressive arcing as this high load takes down a couple of utility poles. Happened around 3:00 PM on Nov 17 in NW Calgary. Not a fun way to end Friday afternoon for a bunch of people no doubt.”

Some Reddit users questioned how the incident could have happened and whether the oversized load’s route was properly planned.
