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?
I thought the same thing.
