Cleanup efforts continue in Henrietta after more than a dozen utility poles were taken down by a dump truck.
It happened on Lehigh Station Rd. near Rush- Henrietta High School late Monday morning.
The dump truck driver was trapped in his vehicle for a while, but eventually was freed without any injuries as were some other drivers in the area.
High voltage power lines came down, and at one point, more than 1,200 RG&E customers were without power. Most were back on line by early afternoon.
Crews from the utility, along with Monroe County Sheriff’s Deputies and Henrietta fire personnel helped get people out of the area where the lines came down.
Early on Tuesday morning, deputies said that Lehigh Station Rd. remains closed in both directions between East Henrietta Rd. and Masthead Way while crews continue their work on the power lines in the area. Lehigh Station Rd. is expected to remain closed throughout the morning rush hour on Tuesday.
