High winds in Carlsbadistan had a traffic light dangling by a thread and flapping like a flag for nearly 40 minutes at causing a brief closure of north bound lanes of Carlsbad Blvd at Tamarack this afternoon at 4:50 PM (click here for video).
Carlsbad Fire responded and coned off the right lane and then Carlsbad Police arrived minutes later to close both lanes. It was just in time. Literally seconds after the northbound lanes were closed the three-light box came crashing to the ground stunning pedestrians and drivers a like. Carlsbad Fire pulled the light out of the way and all lanes of traffic were reopened at 4:46 PM.
That’s how they do it in Carlsbadistan. The aftermath after the jump.
