A car struck a traffic light at the intersection of Nashville and St Charles early Tuesday morning, resulting in the destruction of both the vehicle and the traffic light.
Around 12:45 a.m. a car headed south through the intersection struck the riverside traffic light on Nashville Avenue, but no casualties were reported, said Officer Keith Villen of the NOPD. New Orleans firefighters extinguished the flames from the burning car within minutes of the incident.
The NOPD has advised residents traveling along St Charles to take extra precautions around this intersection until the repairs are complete.
