It seems it doesn't matter what time of day or what kind of driving conditions,  you always need to keep your eyes open when driving through the intersection of 82nd and Quaker. Another early morning accident happened today.

Driving to work up here at the station just off of the corner of 82nd and Quaker, I drove up to the light and was almost blinded by all the lights. More times than I like to say, I have witnessed wrecks at this intersection, including once that recently claimed a woman's life.

 

This morning is another number on that list, so please remember to be careful ALL times of the day and in ALL weather conditions!

A vehicle collided with the power poll outside the 7-Eleven on the Northwest corner.

 

Now, more than 4 hours after the incident, Lubbock workers are still repairing the entire light traffic light poll.

 

We were unable to contact anyone to comment on a time frame as to when the light should be fixed.

Until then, if you're in a hurry, steer clear of the 82nd and Quaker intersection as all traffic is being directed by LPD officers. Be sure to drive cautiously, if you do head that way, and watch out for our boys in blue!
