A central city cafe owner fears someone will be seriously hurt at a busy intersection outside her Whangarei business unless the traffic lights are changed to improve safety.
Agnes Borrmann voiced her concern after two cars collided outside La Familia cafe at the intersection of Walton and Cameron St, opposite
Whangarei police station, about 11am yesterday.
A Toyota vehicle on Walton St heading towards the Town Basin was in collision with a Mazda 6 turning right into Cameron St from Walton St.
The impact of the crash pushed the Mazda into the base of traffic light - only metres from the cafe's door front.
Mrs Borrmann said if it was not for the traffic light outside the business, the Mazda could have put the lives of her customers and staff in danger. There were two customers inside the cafe at the time.
