Several injured when monster truck called ‘Crushstation’ hits power line, unleashes live wires on crowd
Several spectators were injured at a monster-truck show in Maine on Saturday when a leaping vehicle dubbed “Crushstation” struck a power line and dragged down poles with live wires on top of the crowd.
Shocking video from the Topsham Fairgrounds shows the moment the truck races down the runway and becomes airborne after hitting a ramp, according to News Center Main.
Spectators barely had a moment to marvel at the flying metallic lobster when the truck hit a power line above the ring.
The force caused the utility poles connected to the line to come crashing down on them as they ran from the falling trees, power lines and transformers.
One man could be seen falling to the ground after one of the poles that was snapped in half appeared to hit him.
The live wires that were sent crashing down also nearly wrapped around the neck of a little boy being carried by an adult, who was somehow able to dodge the danger with the child in tow.
Several people could also be seen pulling away a wheelchair-bound man and a little kid who were just a few feet away from the falling wires.
Topsham Police said several people suffered minor injuries as a result of the incident, with two of the injured transported to a local hospital for treatment.
The driver of the Crushstation monster truck was not among the injured.
Police said the investigation over the crash remains ongoing.
Saturday’s show was part of a two-day event hosted by the Renegade Monster Truck Tour.
Promoters for the show did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.
