Watch the moment a car crashes into the Crown Tavern traffic lights in Scarborough
The car hit the newly installed lights just hours after they were switched on.
A silver car, believed to be a Ford Focus with two people inside, has wiped out a set of newly installed traffic lights outside the Crown Tavern on Scalby Road.
The crash happened at around 1.15am, and the area has since been cordoned off by police.
The lights were only switched on yesterday (April 1) after a delay of almost six weeks caused by utility companies.
It is unknown at this point how long it will be before the lights are operational again.
