A stretch of U.S. 17 in Winter Haven is shut down after an early Friday morning crash knocked down a power pole, sending power lines across the roadway, according to police.
The crash took out multiple traffic signals in the area, police said. No significant injuries were reported.
U.S. 17 is closed from Avenue M Northwest to Haven dale Boulevard.
Crews are working to install generators to run traffic signals at Havendale and MLK Jr Blvd., First St. N and MLK Jr. Blvd., and U.S. 17 and Mirror Terrace.
Drivers are urged to treat those signals as four-way stops until they’re up and running again.
This is a developing story.
