An accident Tuesday afternoon in Clarinda caused $6,000 damage, but no one was injured. According to the Clarinda Police Department, a 2007 International tractor-trailer driven by 49-year old Daniel Dean Powers, of Omaha, was traveling east on Chestnut Street at around 3:15-p.m. When Powers went to turn north onto 11th Street, he didn’t seem some low hanging power lines. The top of the semi snagged the power lines, causing them to fall, and uproot a light pole.

The mishap also pulled two electrical services from two separate houses. No citations were issued.
