Dozens of residents at an apartment complex were evacuated from their homes overnight after a U-Haul truck struck the building's utility lines, according to the Tempe Police Department.
Police said a U-Haul was attempting to enter the apartment complex's parking garage near Rio Salado Parkway and Ash Avenue, but the vehicle was too large to make the clearance. It ended up colliding with the bottom of the parking garage and hit utility lines including gas and water.
A hanging sign indicated the clearance height at the entrance of the parking garage, however, police said they are not sure whether the driver of the U-Haul observed the sign prior to attempting to enter.
The Tempe Fire Medical Rescue Department, along with the Tempe Police Department and APS, responded to the scene around 2 a.m.
