Hundreds of Kalamazoo residents in the Oakwood neighborhood lost power for over five hours after a tree was blown over and fell onto an ice cream truck, according to Kalamazoo Department of Public Safety.
It happened just after 5:30 p.m. at the intersection of Springmont Avenue and Barnard Street in Kalamazoo. KDPS confirmed the accident, and Consumers Energy outage map shows almost 200 customers have lost power in Kalamazoo.

‘cause our electricity comes from ice cream trucks don’t you know. . .
No link?
This is the type of writing I would rip my students on. The article makes it sound as though the power for the town came from the ice cream truck and the demise of the truck and power service are somehow connected rather than the incident being coincidental. I’m guessing the tree that smashed the truck took out a power line but a reader should not have to guess. Also, condition of the truck driver/operator and his young patrons might have been interesting. Were they crushed, electrocuted?
Right, power comes from ice cream trucks. Doesn’t everyone know that?
Only at the end of the story do we learn that the tree also took out power lines.
I’ve got a gal there, I hope she’s ok.
For sanity’s sake I hope the ice cream truck music isn’t stuck on Play.
I thought the same thing.
” I hope she’s ok.”
She’ll have to do without ice cream for a while.
"You see, all my flavors are guaranteed to satisfy!"
Does she drive an ice cream truck or live in a tree?
