UPDATED THROUGHOUT AT 10:45 a.m.
The crew of a tree-trimming truck apparently forgot to lower the boom on the cherry picker after leaving the County Highway yard on Oak Street this morning.
The boom snagged phone lines on Cedar Street and the truck flipped on its side.
There were no injuries and no other vehicles involved, but it took a team of tow-truck drivers more than an hour to hoist the piece of heavy equipment back on its side.
"That picker should be all the way down and in place," said Officer Ed Mileham, who investigated the accident. "The guys that were working outside didn't put it down."
The truck was marked "Nelson Tree Service, Inc. Dayton, Ohio." The crew is apparently working on a project trimming trees under contract with National Grid and had dumped a load of wood chips at the county yard before heading out to other work.
Two heavy wreckers had to be called in so that one could lift while the other pulled. The crew managed to gently lower the truck back on its wheels, causing no further damage to the vehicle.
Crews were on scene to deal with hydraulic liquid and oil that leaked from the truck.
Mileham said no citations would be issued.
The phone and cable lines did not appear damaged by the accident.
