Riley County Police Captain, Tim Hegarty told KMAN two traffic lights in the downtown Manhattan area were not functioning properly, due to an apparent power failure. 23 Riley County Westar customers were originally without power, but the number was down to one at 1:30 Monday afternoon. As of late afternoon, all power had been restored in the area.
Hegarty said, around 12:30 p.m. the 17th street and Poyntz traffic light stopped working, as well as the 17th street and Anderson light.
Police were on scene re-routing traffic.
