A Connecticut truck driver who was hauling a large dumpster has died after his construction vehicle snagged some low-hanging cables and pulled down two utility poles. The incident happened Friday morning in the small eastern Connecticut town of Franklin. Connecticut State Police said Saturday that a transformer on one of the utility poles fell on top of the driver’s cab. Sixty-one-year-old Gary Pizzo of Norwich was pronounced dead at William W. Backus Hospital. The incident is under police investigation.
