TAMPA, Fla. — If you're driving in Tampa early Monday morning, you'll want to avoid the area of North Florida Avenue near the Sulphur Springs Water Tower for several hours.
Tampa Police said a car crashed into a TECO pole at the intersection of East Bird Street and North Florida Avenue, damaging the pole as a result. No one was seriously hurt in the crash, police said.
As crews work to clean up the crash and make repairs to the pole, northbound and southbound lanes of Florida Avenue will be shut down from East Bird Street to North Rivershore Drive.
That work is expected to be finished around 8 a.m., police said.
Drivers are being asked to avoid the area.
