A truck with a rear-end boom that was up when it shouldn’t have been took out several overhead streetlights near downtown Denver on Tuesday morning.
No one was injured.
At least four traffic lights on Speer Boulevard north of West Colfax Avenue were hammered by the truck about 8:30 a.m., including one at Arapahoe Street.
Police caught up with the truck near Larimer Street.
Motorcycle officer Dan McNulty said the unusual accident was all part of a day’s work.
“It happens,” he said.
The driver declined comment, except to say he was eager to pull his truck off busy Speer Boulevard “before something else happens.”
The truck driver or his company, Eco-Pan Inc., will have to pay for the signal repairs, police said.
