A two-car accident occurred on Route 219 and Foster Street around noon on Wednesday, Mar. 2.
According to emergency responders on scene, one driver was treated on scene due to pain in his leg after the wreck, but no serious injuries occurred.
Currently, Rt. 219 is set to flashing yellow lights and the cross street, Foster Street, is set to flashing red lights. The intersection usually is controlled by a stoplight, but an accident at Rt. 219 and Rt. 60 on Feb. 22 disabled that intersection’s stoplight, and the Rt. 219-Foster intersection light was changed to accommodate traffic. According to Lewisburg Fire Chief Joe Thomas, a tractor trailer hooked the stoplight at Rt. 219 and Rt. 60 while attempting a turn, bringing the light to the ground. The main intersection in Lewisburg has been a four-way stop since the incident.
The Lewisburg Police Department, Lewisburg Fire Department, and emergency medical services arrived on scene shortly after the accident.
