Semi-truck hits power pole, shuts down 2 Madison County roads

HUNTSVILLE, AL (WAFF) -

Emergency crews are working to clear a wreck on Hobbs Road near Vann Road in Madison County.

A semi-truck hit a utility police around 5 a.m. Tuesday, knocking power lines into the road and causing a natural gas leak. Emergency workers also said the truck was leaking diesel fuel.

The driver is expected to be OK. 

Crews reopened Vann Road around 7:30 a.m. Hobbs Road remains closed. Vann appears to be the quickest detour around the crash.

Authorities were not letting school buses pass through earlier in the morning. So parents should expect delays on some bus routes for Huntsville City Schools.

Both roads have since reopened.
