Semi Pulls Power Lines Down At Century Shopping Center

December 23, 2025

A semi truck pulled down power lines in a Century shopping center Tuesday morning.

The truck snagged the low lines in the parking lot and along State Line Road by the Food Giant on North Century Boulevard about 8:35 a.m.

The driver remained in the truck as a precaution until FPL could arrive on scene and ensure that the lines were dead. The driver was not injured.

The Century Station of Escambia County Fire Rescue also responded.

    The line ran to a pole behind the old laundromat next door. He backed under it to get to the loading dock. After he unloaded the truck was higher than when he backed in, and when he started to pull out the trailer snagged the lines.

    WHY WERE THE POWER LINES THAT LOW?
