BTD workers begin to deal with pole carnage; photo by Vivian Gerard.
Sometime before 7:40 a.m., the driver of a Corolla slammed into a traffic-light pole on the southbound side of Blue Hill Avenue at Columbia Road in Dorchester, sending the pole slamming down across the road and creating an instant traffic jam. No serious injuries, at least.

That traffic light should not have been gray so it stood out from the surroundings. It should have lights on, too.
