A motorist has captured the moment a truck smashed into a set of traffic lights in Palmerston North last week.
The video, which was taken on the dash-cam of local man Craig Milverton's vehicle, shows a truck with its back hoisted travelling along Railway Rd and hitting a hanging traffic light at the intersection with Tremaine Ave.
The traffic is smashed to pieces, leaving pieces of debris scattered on the road and the remaining traffic lights blinking yellow.
The date on the video's display is January 15 at 3.22pm.
The video, which was posted on Mr Milverton's Facebook page, had this afternoon been shared more than 1000 times.
