Utility pole falls on portable classroom
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
A portable classroom at Mableton Elementary School was damaged Monday morning when a utility pole crashed onto it.
There was no one in the classroom at the time and there were no injuries, said Jay Dillon, a spokesman for the Cobb County School District.
The accident happened just before 11 a.m. when a food service truck, which had just made a delivery to the school, went the wrong way in the school driveway, Dillon said.
The truck clipped the wires on the utility pole, which sent it crashing onto the classroom.
The children were at lunch at the time, Dillon said.
“The portable classroom was damaged pretty heavily,” Dillon said.
The school is at 5520 Church Street in Mableton.
