Man Trapped in Car when Falling Branch Takes out Power Line.
Posted: 5/16/2009


   Firefighters were called out Saturday night, to help a man trapped in his car.
   It happened in Lewiston in Montmorency County about 6:30.
   The man was working in his yard, when a branch of a tree started to crack.
   The man got in his vehicle to move it out of the way, but the branch came down and took a power line with it.
    The line fell near the car, and the man was unsure whether he should get out of his vehicle, so he stayed there, and called for help.    
   Firefighters say it turned out the line was dead, but the man did the right thing. It could just have easily been a live line. No one was hurt.
