Truck collision damages high-voltage transmission line

A serious incident occurred on the Khukh Khutul pass in Khuvsgul Province, where a HOWO truck collided with a 110kV high-voltage transmission tower, causing significant damage to the power infrastructure. The collision left the tower irreparably damaged, resulting in a critical disruption to the power supply for residents in Govi-Altai and Zavkhan provinces.

In response to the emergency, authorities immediately initiated a large-scale repair operation, mobilizing highly skilled teams from Bulgan, Erdenet, Govi-Altai, and Zavkhan provinces. Despite the harsh winter conditions and challenging terrain, the repair crews worked tirelessly for 25 hours to replace the damaged tower and restore electricity to the affected areas. Their efforts ensured that power was brought back online swiftly and safely, with normal voltage levels fully restored.

The incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of adhering to traffic regulations near critical infrastructure, as such accidents can cause widespread disruptions and pose serious risks to public safety. Local authorities have reiterated the need for heightened awareness and stricter enforcement to prevent similar events in the future.

Residents expressed their gratitude for the rapid and coordinated response by the repair teams, whose dedication minimized the impact of the outage.
