A solo car crash Wednesday evening took out the signal lights, police said in an alert sent about 7:45 p.m.

Caltrans crews worked overnight to restore service, but as of 7:15 a.m. Thursday, the lights are only flashing red in all directions.

Caltrans controls the lights on El Camino Real, which is also State Route 82.

Police are advising drivers to treat the intersection as a four-way stop and avoid the area if possible.
