Police are looking for leads in the whereabouts of a tractor-trailer that apparently struck a PPL Electric Utilities pole in Susquehanna Township earlier Friday, then fled the scene. The crash, which was reported at 3:20 a.m. in the 3300 block of Walnut Street, dragged several power lines into the street and caused widespread outages in the immediate area until it was cleared up earlier Friday afternoon. The truck, possibly a Great Dane trailer, struck the pole at the corner of Walnut and North 34th streets, but continued on its way in an unknown direction of travel, police said.
