 According to a Lincoln police officer
on the scene, the accident
occurred when a mobile home was being moved, with the intent of
placing it in the mobile home park on North Main.The large home
was being towed by a flatbed truck. Coming in from the east on 21st
Street, the driver attempted to turn south onto North Main and
struck a utility pole with the mobile home.
The pole moved but did not fall. Instead it served to peel back a
large portion of the exterior wall of the mobile home.
Witnesses on the scene before police secured the area said that
on the far side of the home, it appeared that the pole was in the
middle of one of the rooms, having ripped several feet into the side
of the home.
Ron's Towing service was called in with two wreckers. They used a
small vehicle wrecker to pull the truck away from the mobile home
and then used their large semi wrecker to pull the home sideways
away from the utility pole and back onto 21st Street.
