Street light crashes down on car at Winnipeg intersection

A Winnipegger says the city's crumbling infrastructure is worrisome after a street light crashed down on a car waiting at an intersection near his workplace.

"You know, deal with potholes and this and that, well we'll get through it. But stuff falling on you just out of the blue,that gets a bit scary," Peter Harzan said.

• Crumbling infrastructure biggest concern of Winnipeggers

He caught the crash on an exteriorsecurity tape attached to Forward House Ministries near the corner of Watt Street and Chalmers Avenue, where it happened in April 9.

"It sort of gave me a start. You know, it scared me," he said.

"The thought of somebody sitting in a car and just waiting at a red light and the light standard comes down and hits you that's pretty serious stuff."

The person inside the vehicle was not seriously injured and eventually drove away.

The city has sinceinstalled a new light standard.

Harzan posted the video on his Facebook page with the following comment about the city's sad state of infrastructure.
