South Toms River/Berkeley: Serious MVA in the Manitou Park section on First Avenue. Vehicle versus pole with pole down and possibly on fire. This accident happened near the Manitou Sub-Station; Widespread power outages are occurring
Update: Pole is not on Fire, but is down with live wires across it. Driver fled on foot and was a white male wearing a T-shirt.
Probably ran home to have 5-6 beers to take the edge off
Great some freakin ahole screws shit up
Had to be essential
Oh this is why my lights are out
Theresa Degener same
THE EXPLOSIONS WERE CRAZY!!!
Shannon Maher I can imagine. I once was standing waiting for a bus in Burlington county one time when FedEx truck was cut off by a car running a red light and caused the FedEx truck to run through a pole bringing down wires over me and my boyfriend’s head onto a wet road … Not to mention gasoline spillage from the truck and we were standing in snow. It’s pretty scary
Shannon Maher I got one on video
Shannon Maher we saw them all the way in Beachwood.
Shannon Maher crazy. I live downtown and it woke me up.
I’m in next neighborhood I was about to get ready for work it was a massive bang sky lit up green power went off came back on twice another explosion power went out for good. I can see the whole street lit up with emergency vehicles. People were out there screaming.
Shannon Maher I saw the electric go out and could see more flashes towards downtown TR, thought it was lightning
Brian McGillivray wish I had taken video didnt even cross my mind
Theresa Degener that’s so scary
Brian McGillivray dont see nothing
I woke up because the fan in my room was off and I’m like what the heck.. and then I looked outside and realize my whole neighborhood was pitch Black. Kind of eerie considering the time we’re living in right now
Tell me about it, I’m a few houses down where it happened, the transformer across the street was sparking
Jeff Parker about 15 seconds in and turn your volume up
Brian McGillivray that’s something!

Probably that vehicle running up and down 2nd all night my camera keep going on and off. Still under a curfew my virtual class at the Max starts at 5am should be interesting
Work near downtown and happened to be standing outside when I saw the explosion and then power cut. Assumed it was electrical lightening.

Melissa Campbell Back to sleep ????????
Does anyone know what type of vehicle
It happened by me
Jay Hill yikes
POWER IS BACK ON IN MONEY ISLAND
Thank you first responders
When will power be back? Oxygen tank needs power.
You need to tell your supplier that you need emergency tanks on hand.
Call police
They will tell you what to do or send someone to help
I think that is the third or fourth pole in STR in the past month or so?The others were on Dover Road. What’s going on?
