Two people suffered minor cuts and bruises in the crash Tuesday morning.
The Christchurch City Council is currently reviewing the intersection of Harewood, Breens and Gardiners roads, and public presentations are open.
Christchurch City Councilor Aaron Keown said the intersection was “difficult” to use and the overwhelming response from local residents was that they wanted traffic lights and a bike path there.
“The locals have been asking [traffic] lights here for decades. This is nothing new “.
Tuesday morning’s crash was a reminder for people to speak out at the intersection before the council presentations closed Monday, Keown said.
