The Texarkana Texas Police Department says a bizarre accident on Interstate 30 this afternoon looked like something out of a movie.

A dump truck drove through a construction zone with its bed raised and snagged a utility wire stretched across the highway. The wire was pulled down, and when another truck struck it, the force snapped a utility pole, slinging it into traffic. Two trucks collided with the flying pole and wire, and one trailer was even sliced open. Amazingly, no one was injured.

Traffic is now moving, after crews cleared the scene.
