INDIAN RIVER COUNTY A crash and a downed power line on 58th Avenue prompted traffic delays and power outages at the large intersection west of Vero Beach at State Road 60 late Tuesday afternoon.
A trailer carrying yard waste became detached from the pickup truck hauling it and struck the front of a pool company truck in the southbound lanes of 58th Avenue around 2:15 pm at College Lane, an Indian River County Sheriff’s Office deputy said.
The area, near Home Depot and Walmart, is a heavily traveled shopping district.
Law enforcement officials are considering the crash to be a hit-and-run, and are looking for the pickup that hauled the trailer after it left the crash without stopping, the deputy said.
