Crews working to repair a street lamp on Lakeshore Drive that was knocked over on Saturday.

A trailer slipped off a semi-truck and knocked down a street lamp on Lakeshore Drive, between Main Street and Martin Street.

Penticton RCMP were called to the incident just before 8:30 a.m. on Saturday. 

An eye witness says the driver was pulling out of a parking lot and when he turned, the king pin holding the trailer slipped, causing the trailer to fall off. 

No one was hurt, but the witness said that the incident could've been much worse on a busier roadway.

"If this happened on the highway, lives could have been taken," the witness said. 

The truck has been cleared, but crews continue to repair the downed street lamp.
