Wind Seemingly Cause Of Fallen Brookline Traffic Signal That Shut Down Route 9 East
BROOKLINE (CBS) -- A traffic light on a metal pole was apparently knocked down by the wind Friday morning, prompting lane closures and traffic delays on Route 9 East.
Police shut down Route 9 East after police say the wind seemingly felled the signal between Cypress and Washington Streets at about 9 a.m. By 11 a.m., one lane of traffic was open again as crews cleaned up debris.
No one was injured in the incident, police say.
UPDATE: @MassDOT here-1 lane still closed. Cause most likely wind. Working with @BrooklinePublic Upper Devo School on dismissal plan. (551) https://t.co/0RF439rlOb
