Ridgewood NJ, A tractor trailer making a U-Turn in the Graydon North parking lot on Tuesday evening struck a low hanging wire, which set off a chain reaction series of events culminating in the loss of electric, phone, and WIFI  services to the Graydon Pool complex.

Ridgewood PD and FD units responded quickly to the incident and roped off the affected area due to the presence of live electric wires on the ground.  A PSE&G lineman arrived within 30 minutes to disconnect the downed power line from the electric grid.

A representative from the Village’s Signal Maintenance division was also observed evaluating damage.  No estimate was given as to when services would be restored.  No injuries were reported, nor was there any apparent damage to the tractor trailer.  There was no report of a summons being issued to the tractor’s driver.
