More than 20 traffic lights are out of action and about 15,000 homes have no power after a crane toppled and crushed an electrical substation in Melbourne’s south-east.
WorkSafe is investigating after the crane upended on a construction site in Clyde North about 3pm on Wednesday. The driver was not injured, according to an Ambulance Victoria spokeswoman.The power outage has caused more than 20 sets of traffic lights to be blacked out in the south-eastern suburbs, including Clyde, Clyde North, Cranbourne, Cranbourne North, Cranbourne East and Berwick.
“Motorists are advised to obey all signage and all road rules,” a Department of Transport statement said.“When approaching an intersection with lights flashing amber or blacked out, drivers must follow the same give way rules as you would at an intersection that has a stop or give way sign or line.” Power has also been cut at more than 6000 homes in Clyde North, 3000 in Cranbourne North and almost 6000 in Cranbourne East, according to AusNet Services.
On its outage tracker website, AusNet Services said it expected the power to be restored by about 6pm on Wednesday.
