EXPLOSIVE sounds rung out and sparks flew over the intersection of Brisbane Street and Telemon Street, Beaudesert when a truck hit a power pole early Thursday morning, 23 May.
Beaudesert Fire Captain Andy Rose happened to be getting his morning coffee when the scene unfolded just before 7am and bystanders rushed out from nearby Bean To? cafe to see what was going on.
Morning traffic was interrupted as drivers tried to navigate the intersection while Telemon Street was temporarily cut off by the truck.
Mr Rose went to the aide of the truck driver and Queensland Ambulance Service, Queensland Police Service and Energex crews attended.
At time of publication, Energex crews were working to restore power to the intersection and police were directing traffic.
