STAFF from Choices Flooring at Eenie Creek Road were shocked to witness a street pole collapse on a vehicle towing a caravan on Monday 11 August.
Choices owner Brett Williams said he was standing on the showroom floor about noon, when he saw a truck pass through the Eenie Creek Road round about and clip the light pole.
“The truck was turning left to enter Eenie Creek Road, when the rear wheel hit the light pole,” he said.
Mr Williams said the pole came crashing down on a passing four-wheel-drive towing a caravan.
“It landed on the back of the ute’s cab, then collided with the caravan before it landed between the vehicle and caravan,” he said.
Police and emergency service crews had the area cleared within the hour.
