Big rig barrels into traffic light

MAIDENCREEK TWP., Pa. -

A big rig barreled into a traffic light in Maidencreek Township Wednesday night creating some problems during rush hour.

It happened around 5:00pm on Tamarack Boulevard.

We're told the tractor-trailer slammed into the light pole after making a right turn from Route 222.

No one was injured.
