The police had the time to put up roadblocks, but not help move the tree branches?
Also, driving over downed power lines in a car is not that bad, as the car tires act as insulators and the car body acts as an OK Faraday cage.Since police were already there, they could have instructed drivers to cross slowly and avoid touching metal in their cars.
