Tonight a Milwaukee news crew became the news after they drove the mast of their live truck into power lines. A reporter and photographer from WDJT-TV CBS 58 in Milwaukee were doing a live report from the south side of Milwaukee earlier tonight.
When they were finished with the report the crew forgot to lower the mast of the truck and drove off.
They didn't get very far because the mast became tangled in the power lines.
Luckily the crew wasn't hurt. Incidents like this have been deadly. Electricity running through the lines could have killed them.
Oddly enough, this isn't the first time WDJT-TV has had a run in with their live truck.
In 2007 the station made national news when a photographer drove the truck onto a frozen lake channel. The photographer mistook the channel for a road.
