TOPSHAM, Maine (AP) — A police investigator has concluded that no charges should be filed after a Hummer-themed monster truck struck a power line, leading to several scary moments in which live wires fell to the ground and two people were taken to hospitals.

Several people were injured on Saturday when power poles collapsed and a transformer fell to the ground at the Topsham Fairgrounds. Witnesses said some people were trapped in portable toilets with cables hanging from them.
