A trash truck struck a pole and turned on its side Thursday afternoon in Rockville.
The incident happened around 1:20 p.m., according to fire department spokesman Pete Piringer. Eastbound Norbeck Road was closed at East Gude Drive while firefighters worked at the scene, but it later reopened around 4 p.m. A large wrecker tow truck with a crane was brought in to lift and help remove the truck.
Paramedics assisted the driver, according to Piringer, but there was no immediate word on the driver's condition.
