On the morning of May 2, 2025, Glenda Huff Roth was working in her yard located off of Oak Ledge Drive when a Haul-Brooke utility dumpster truck collied with an AT&T fiber optic cable that was allegedly hanging well below the 15-foot-6-inch minimum clearance required by national and local safety codes, according to the lawsuit.
