Tractor-Trailer Topples Traffic Signal, Taylor Ave. Signage, Takes Off

After allegedly knocking down a traffic signal at the intersection of Collings Avenue and the White Horse Pike Saturday night, police believe the same motorist collided with a nearby utility pole and street sign before heading out of town in the direction of Route 130.

Only minutes after emergency crews responded to the scene of the first incident, reports came in from a few blocks away of a dark-colored tractor trailer colliding with a utility pole on Magill Avenue and mangling a street sign at the intersection of Taylor and Collings.

Despite a driving rain, overnight crews were able to replace the signal by morning, and the flow of traffic was barely interrupted.

consider the matter an open investigation. Anyone with information about the incident is invited to contact them.
