News 12 has learned that a dump truck was not to blame for utility poles and power lines coming down in Wall Township, despite initial reports from JCP&L.

The poles and wires that came down Monday night along East Hurley Pond Road.

Wall Township police say that their investigation found no evidence of any vehicles coming into contact with the utility poles.

“Our findings indicate that a pole on East Hurley Pond Road failed on its own, which then caused a second pole to snap and drop the lines onto the highway,” police wrote in a statement.

They say that the poles appeared to be old and could no longer support the weight of the overhead wires.

The fallen poles and wires damaged more than a dozen vehicles. One driver was temporarily trapped when a live wire fell on their vehicle.
