CENTRAL —- The vehicles involved in a two-vehicle crash Friday morning have now been cleared but the traffic signal at the scene remains without power.
It was around 6:25 a.m. on Sept. 25 when Central Police officers responded to the intersection of Hooper and Blackwater roads.
Central Police Chief Roger Corcoran told UWK the driver of a white pick-up truck was westbound on Hooper Rd. with a green light. At the same time, an SUV was eastbound on Hooper and the driver turned left into the path of the truck on a flashing yellow light.
Three people were transported to a hospital for injuries. The extent of their injuries is unknown at this time.
The impact from the crash tossed the truck into the signal box, knocking out power to the traffic light.
“We ask everyone to please continue avoiding the area, but if you must go through it, use it as a four-way stop,” said Chief Corcoran’s
Officials from the city-parish remain on scene, fixing the box to restore power to the traffic signal.?
