2 utility poles down on Medford street, shutting off power to nearby homes

MEDFORD, Mass. —

Two utility poles fell down onto a street in Medford, Monday afternoon, causing several homes on the street to lose power.

The poles came down just after 3:30 p.m. on Arlington Street, taking wires down with them.

The utility poles were rotted at the stump, causing them to uproot and fall over onto the street.

National Grid was at the scene cleaning up the downed wires and attempting to restore power to the street.

No one was hurt in the incident.
