[QUOTE="HFS, post: 4388579, member: 8862"] According to NY Post, part of downtown Omaha, Nebraska lost electricity yesterday after a garbage truck drove into an alley where there was a sinkhole, damaging utility lines. (Power has since been restored.) [B]The city's version of what happened:[/B] "City Engineer Austin Rowser told the KETV television station that officials had been concerned about the alley and put up a barricade to keep vehicles from driving down it. Rowser said the driver of the Waste Management trash truck moved the barricade to drive through the alley." [B]The company's version of what happened:[/B] "Waste Management of Nebraska disputed that the driver moved a barrier. The company said in a statement that the driver saw caution signs on the sidewalk as he crossed 16th Street but no barriers blocked his route into the alley, so he drove into it. Waste Management said its internal investigation supports the driver’s observations, and that it is cooperating with the city’s investigation."
