The Camila Tours and Travel private carrier bus didn't have any passengers when it pulled out of the 7-Eleven lot on Polifly Road and snagged the wires around 2 p.m., Capt. Nicole Foley said.

The 55-year-old New York driver received a summons for careless driving, Foley said. An investigation was continuing, she said.
