A forklift on a highway disrupted 250 Port Wentworth residences and businesses in Georgia, USA, last week when it hit the telephone, cable and power lines.

Savannah TV station WTOC reported Mario Summerville, of Cargoways Logistics, was driving on Highway 25 when he heard an "electrical" noise.

"Coming up the power line, it looked higher from a distance. Before I knew it, I made contact with it," Summerville said. He also hit the phone and cable lines.

The Georgia Department of Public Safety said the forklift was not carrying a permit and Cargoways Logistics could face fines and citations from the incident.
