Neal Pedersen said. A tractor-trailer being driven by Neal Mescia, of Englewood, struck low hanging wires on Burrsville Road near the intersection with Burnt Tavern Road.<\/p>\n<p>The wires hooked onto the truck which then pulled down three utilities poles and damaged a fourth, Pedersen said. Mescia was not injured in the crash. Firefighters from the Laurelton Fire Company responded along with the Brick Police EMS, police said.<\/p>\n<p>When the truck was freed from the wires it was able to be driven from the scene, said Pedersen. The road was still closed at 7 p.m., with the resulting utility work set to continue until at least 8 p.m.<\/p>\n<p>The crash is being investigated by Brick Police Patrolman Geskey.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fcbkbttn_buttons_block\" id=\"fcbkbttn_left\"><div class=\"fb-share-button fcbkbttn_large_button \" data-href=\"https:\/\/shorebeat.com\/brick\/2016\/02\/truck-that-hit-wires-pulled-down-three-poles-closed-road-in-brick\/\" data-type=\"button_count\" data-size=\"large\"><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The closure most of Burrsville that lasted most of the day Monday was caused when a truck hit overhead wires and pulled down a utility pole, police said.
