A dump truck that was part of a nearby construction project connected with a power line on Victoria St. South in Aylmer around 11 a.m. Wednesday morning. The incident pulled down multiple hydro poles and left power lines lying across the road, lawns and driveways. Emergency crews were able to safely shut down power in the neighbourhood and no injuries occurred. Residents remain without power with officials estimating that it will return around approximately 8 p.m. The street remains closed between Pine Street East and Elk Street due to the downed lines.
