<div>GREENVILLE—An intersection in Greenville has been causing problems this week, leading to traffic delays and impacting nearby businesses.Antonio Harris often walks to get around, but on Monday morning, he witnessed something unusual ... a semi-truck took down a utility pole at the intersection of highway 1 and highway 82 in Greenville.“I saw a big pole in the street, a big pole, and they said an 18-wheeler capsized, knocked the pole down,” said Antonio Harris.The problem knocked out traffic lights and power to homes and businesses nearby.“We weren't able to open back up at all. They were completely shut down. There was no electricity at all, no AC, no nothing was working,” said Alhassan Omar.Crews responded quickly, replacing the utility pole and getting the intersection back up and running within a day.But then Thursday, the Greenville police department confirmed a second accident at the intersection.Officers say a live wire began sparking and came into contact with a semi-truck—but the power was quickly cut, and the driver made it out safely.Omar says the back-to-back incidents resulted in lost business, and frustrated customers.“We honestly didn't have no way to let our customers know like how long we were going to be closed for, which lost a lot of business that they had a lot of customers just going to other directions,” said Alhassan Omar.As of Friday, the traffic light at the intersection remained out, as crews worked to fix the issue.They admitted though, repairs to the traffic signals and power would likely extend into the weekend.“You got to be very careful walking down the street because the traffic re-routed,” said Antonio Harris.Harris says it’s not safe walking near the intersection even in the best of times because drivers just aren’t watching for pedestrians.</div>
