Traffic was disrupted this morning after an Amazon delivery truck became wedged at the intersection of South 5th and Cherry Streets. The incident occurred just before 8 a.m. when the truck driver attempted to negotiate a turn there.

Columbia Borough Police responded to the scene to manage traffic and assist with the situation. The trapped truck caused delays for parents dropping off students at Park Elementary and Our Lady of Angels School. The driver was eventually able to move the truck from the scene.

The borough highway department is continuing snow removal operations in the borough with crews working on Cedar Street this morning.

The department is facing setbacks after three vehicles experienced problems due to the demands of the operation. The recent snowstorm "took its toll on three pieces of equipment," Highway Department Manager Jake Graham said at the February 3rd Columbia Borough Work Session. 

One vehicle, a 2005 Freightliner dump truck, suffered transmission failure. A replacement transmission will cost $14,000, while a replacement vehicle of the same type will run $250,000, Graham said. The borough paid $75,000 for the truck 16 years ago.

In addition, the department is currently down two employees.
