GREENVILLE, Del. (WPVI) -- The aftermath of Sunday's accident involving a snow plow was still causing traffic delays in Delaware one day later.

DelDOT had to replace damaged utility poles and traffic lights at the intersection of Route 141 and Route 100 in Greenville.

Several lanes were closed during the repair work.

Sunday's crash left dozens of people without power on Sunday evening.

The incident happened around 3:30 p.m. in the area of Route 141 and Route 100 in Greenville, Delaware.

Police say the plow's bed was raised, hitting a traffic signal.

The impact knocked the poles down and cut power to about 40 nearby customers of Delaware Power and Light.

Power was expected to be restored Sunday night.

The plow operator was not hurt.
