(Tamaroa, IL) –A family of three traveling in Tamaroa was stuck in their car after a power line fell on it in a storm on Wednesday. The family said they were driving eastbound after 4:30 p.m. on Route 154 in Tamaroa when a burst of wind blew a tree and a power line down in front of them. They veered off the road and the power line landed on their SUV. When they called 911, dispatch told them to not get out of the vehicle because of “hot” power lines. The family said they waited in their car 1.5 hours until Ameren crews arrived to shut off power. They were then able to get out and the vehicle was towed away.
