Woman Hit by SEPTA Wire

The wire fell from an elevated line.

A woman was hurt after a power line for SEPTA's trolleybuses fell and hit her Sunday. Lucky for her, it wasn't a live wire. She was taken to the hospital and is expected to make a full recovery.

The accident happened around 9:30 p.m. at Oxford and Foulkrod Avenues in the Frankford section of Philadelphia.

The wire that fell was a support wire, according to a SEPTA spokesman.

Police and the transportation agency are investigating the cause of the accident.
