So, here I sit at 4:15 this morning...then there is a loud *bang* followed by a thud and the sound of shattering glass. I didn’t *feel* it so I knew someone had hit something but not our building.
I looked out our balcony and didn’t see anything. I thought it might have been on the other side of the building. A car drove by...then stopped suddenly in the middle of Wolf Rd. I walked outside into the breezeway and saw a vehicle at an odd angle not quite in the driveway to the Harmony Village complex across the street.
After no less that six police cars, a firetruck and an ambulance showed up, I knew something fairly major was up.
I don’t know the details, but a minivan took out a powerpole and it appears either the occupant walked away or was killed as the ambulance was waived off with “no transport” as the code.
About 5:15, ComEd cut the power and it was restored about 10 minutes later.
ComEd is still on the scene replacing the pole and re-stringing the lines on that pole. I can look out the balcony and see the lines are still hanging very low and that Wolf Road is still closed northbound from Hintz to just past our entry in our complex/the entry into Harmony Village.
My thoughts and prayers are that the person walked away, but from the reaction of the law enforcement/rescue personal, I don’t think that was the case.
