Parked vehicles damaged and overturned by truck

POINT PLEASANT BEACH — A tractor-trailer hit several parked vehicles near a supermarket on Monday afternoon.

The truck pushed aside several vehicles parked near the Stop & Shop on the southbound side of Route 35 and caused one to overturn onto the truck's trailer, according to the Ocean Fire Company. It also struck a JCP&L utility pole snapping it in half, video posted by News 12 shows.

No one was injured in the incident. Hazardous materials crews worked to clean up fluids that spilled from the struck vehicles while a JCP&L crew repaired a utility pole.  Pictures show a crane being used to lift one of the vehicles.
