A driver knocked down a traffic light with his vehicle after falling asleep while driving during the early hours of this Wednesday in Arrecife.
Alerted by the Local Police of the capital around 01:15, the Security and Emergency Consortium went to the intersection of Guenia street with Manolo Millares. Once at the scene, they verified that there were no injuries and that the traffic light was on the ground with loose wiring, unusable.
Therefore, the firefighters proceeded to disconnect it from the current and to remove it from its base, since it had been anchored by one of the screws. Afterwards, from a nearby manhole, they pulled the cables and introduced them into it, remaining hidden and without risk to pedestrians.
Finally, the vehicle was removed by the crane so that the area was suitable for traffic.
