Nearly 160-Foot-Long Wind Turbine Blade Gets Stuck Between 2 Homes

An oversized trailer hauling the blade of a wind turbine got stuck Tuesday in Bradenville, Westmoreland County, along its 700-mile route to Iowa.

Derry Township Supervisor Don Kepple told KDKA-TV that the driver said he was on his way from Ebensburg to Iowa on a route approved by PennDOT.

"The driver said they get their permit through PennDOT, and they have to follow the route that was given to them. They're not allowed to get off that route, and somebody must not have checked into the best route to go," Kepple said.

The driver was traveling along Route 982 near High Street when the wind turbine wedged between two houses.
