What to do when you see downed powerlines on the road
HENDERSON, Ky. (WEHT) — After severe weather swept through the Tri-State, Kentucky state police are reminding the public what to do if they see downed power lines on the road. Assume all downed power lines are live with electricity, so don't ever touch or move them. Stay in a vehicle, sound the horn and call 911. Report the downed lines to the power company supplying electricity to the area. If an area is without power and you encounter a traffic light not working, treat the intersection as a four way stop.
