What happened to this poor traffic light in south Wimbledon?

Twitter user Mario Jashari sent the Wimbledon Guardian this photo today, which shows the light practically at right angles on the pavement outside south Wimbledon Underground station.

It looks like the post has been hit by a car, not an infrequent occurrence on that junction.

Engineers were said to be on hand this afternoon to start fixing it.

Nick Hitchens, who lives on the near-by High Path estate, said: “I’m not surprised to see another crash has happened at this junction – barely a month seems to go by that we don’t hear of another crash.

“Ultimately you have all the traffic coming south from Morden and west from the A3 up into Tooting converging here, alongside ambulances rushing to and from St George’s, the fire station down the road and the police station in Wimbledon all using the junction on a regular basis. It is inevitable.”
