Police are appealing for witnesses after an incident where a vehicle is believed to have hit power lines in Little Clacton, knocking them down.
The incident occurred at about 3.30pm in St Osyth Road, yesterday.
People living nearby saw a lorry carrying a beige coloured mobile home with a green roof and amber lights on travelling along the road.
The chimney on the caravan may have struck the power lines and ripped them down. The vehicle did not stop at the scene.
The road was closed until just before 7pm whilst the cables were repaired.
Anybody with any information about what happened is asked to contact Pc 913 Andy Fitch at Stanway Response and Patrol Unit on Essex Police 101 or they can email 913@essex.pnn.police.uk
