Traffic Lights Repaired at Tyler Intersection

TYLER — Traffic lights have been repaired following an accident involving a dump truck that caused a traffic jam in Tyler. According to KETK, around 7:40 Thursday morning, a private company truck was traveling south on Sunnybrook Drive. The driver apparently forgot to lower the truck’s bed, causing it to get caught in the traffic lights at the intersection of Sunnybrook Drive and South Vine Avenue. The electric pole at the intersection broke and the truck’s materials spilled onto the roadway. Crews worked for much of the day to replace the lights and pole at that intersection. Police directed traffic at the location until the problem was fixed. No injuries were reported.
