Semi Driver Takes out Downtown Pullman Traffic Light and Flees

PULLMAN - The driver of a semi knocked down a traffic light in downtown Pullman Monday night and never stopped.

Pullman Police were called to the hit and run at the intersection of Main and Kamiaken Streets around 10:30 Monday night. Officers found the traffic light in the street. The collision was caught on downtown surveillance cameras. See the video below.

Videos capture a semi hauling two trailers turning right onto Kamiaken from Main and hitting the pole at the Northeast corner of the intersection and keep driving. Police say they have leads in determining who was driving the semi and that the suspect will likely face hit and run charges.

A temporary four-way stop has been set up at the intersection. The middle lane on Main is closed at the intersection. City officials say they are working with the Washington State Department of Transportation to replace the traffic light on the state highway as soon as possible. There's no word yet when that will happen.
