## Resource

A semi-truck driver from Illinois, Philip Kahn, faces felony charges after allegedly snapping a utility pole in Jefferson City, leaving the intersection shut down and power out for hours—costing Ameren $50,000 to repair. Security footage caught the truck, registered to an Iowa company, at the scene, and GPS tracking led cops to Kahn, who was 300 miles away. He claims he had no idea he hit the pole and kept driving. Now he’s summoned to court on August 26th for leaving the scene of an accident with over $1,000 in damage—a reminder that evidence doesn’t lie, and consequences follow.
