This one is for blogger Steve, who isn’t a big fan of the photo red cameras. A driver crashed into one of the cameras at Division Street and Sprague this morning after falling asleep at the wheel. If you have to crash into something, I guess a photo red cameras is as good as anything, huh Steve?
The crash blocked two lanes of northbound Division for over two hours.
The camera, which photographs red-light runners, should be replaced next week, said Spokane police.
The driver was cited for negligent driving.
At least he didn't damage anything important. Maybe we've found a good secondary use for the cameras as safety barriers. :~} Too bad my wry grin doesn't come across well in a blog comment.
For the record, it's not that I'm not a fan of photo red cameras. I'm not a fan of a program that has the potential for abuse by a revenue-hungry city. Fix that problem and I drop my objections.
Your clarification is noted Steve. Thanks for being a good sport 😉
