Charley Crossroads Traffic Lights Wrecked, Repairs Underway

0:00It's April 24th. Welcome to Lester News Today, powered by AI, I'm Corey with the story. New traffic lights at Charlie Crossroads, near Loveboro, got wrecked as days after going up. These four-way signals were part of a 400,000-pound safety upgrade at the busy spot where Charlie Road hits the B-591. Locals push for the fix because drivers kept blowing through without yielding, turning it into a real accident magnet. Locals wrapped up the install after months of work, adding fresh signs and streetlights on all approaches for better-knive visibility. Council folks are straight-up disappointed. A car smashed one pole on Tuesday night around 9.30 p.m. Lester Shire Police got the call about the vehicle, clipping the light then landing in a bush. Nobody got hurt in the crash, which is the big relief here. Officials say repairs kick off soon to get things back on track. With those extra safety tweaks in place, drivers should still navigate safer once it's all fixed up.
