(KMZA)--It could take a couple of weeks before traffic lights, located at the intersection of Seneca's 6th Street and U.S. Highway 36, are again working.

That word from Seneca Police Chief Jordan Weaver who tells MSC News the traffic light pole, located on the northwest corner of the intersection, was knocked down Thursday morning by a semi.

The truck attempted to make a right hand turn at the intersection, but instead jumped the curb and collided with the light pole, which held the control panel for the corner light switches.

The outage does not affect highway traffic, and Weaver says stop signs have been put in place for 6th Street traffic.

It's likely that replacing the pole will take a couple of weeks.

No injuries are reported from the wreck, which happened around 8:00.
