Trucker Making U-Turn Knocks Out Power Near Crossgates [VIDEO]

As a guy who used to drive an 18-wheeler, I feel for truckers out there, especially when you're driving in an area you're unfamiliar with, which is about 90% of the job. But this trucker who knocked out power on Western Avenue near Crossgates? What was he thinking? 

Now it wasn't like power was knocked out for days, but come on man, surroundings, be aware of your surroundings!
