No one was hurt, but the truck's driver waited in the cab until firefighters determined it was safe to get out, Snohomish County Fire District 1 spokeswoman Leslie Hynes said. The mishap occurred about 2:15 p.m. near the intersection of Pictorial and Maplewood avenues, she said. Crews had to wait for a tow truck to arrive to remove the truck from the wires.
