Emergency crews were dispatched to the intersection of Topsail Road and Commonwealth Avenue shortly after 4:30 p.m. following reports of a two-vehicle collision.


Upon arrival, they discovered that one of the vehicles had crashed into a traffic control box, resulting in a power outage at the intersection. As a precaution, crews had to tape off a section of the right turn lane onto Topsail Road from Commonwealth Avenue due to downed wires.


While it appeared that no serious injuries were reported, one male was assessed by NL Health Services paramedics at the scene, and it's unclear whether he was transported to the hospital.


Traffic in all directions was significantly affected until the lights could be repaired, with crews on site for approximately five and a half hours.
