North Charleston authorities have reopened a section of upper Dorchester Road after an 18-wheeler truck hit a utility pole knocking power lines down across the road at around 1 p.m.
The truck driver was transported to Trident Regional Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries, North Charleston Fire Department public information officer Bianca Sancic said.
Traffic was held up in both directions as a result of the accident. Power was being restored and only a few small black-out pockets remained at 3 p.m.
The accident took place near the intersection of Dorchester Road and Whitwill Blvd., near the St. James Crossing neighborhood, Sancic said.

Another stupid truck driver causing problems and delays for others. Oh wait, I can't say that - or else feel the wrath of the lowcountry trucker "profession". Whatever...
