An unidentified female driving a black BMW slammed into and knocked over a traffic light while heading east on Commonwealth Avenue by the Boston University Bridge at approximately 3 a.m. Monday morning. Officers at the scene said there were no injuries and they did not suspect substance abuse. A male who arrived on the scene identified himself and the female driver as Boston University seniors, but he declined to release further information. The fallen traffic light crushed the front end of the car, which had New Jersey license plates, and caused frayed power lines to land in the intersection.
