Images of the damaged traffic lights have been sent to the Shropshire Star showing the lighting column has been thrown clean out of the ground by the force of an impact.
The column is some distance away from the pedestrian crossing on the Priorslee Road A464 eastbound near Telford Services island.
The column is badly dented but had a cable still linked to the bottom of the column and where it used to be fixed in the ground.
Other debris, including the loose traffic light shields, were seen all over the area near the crossing point.
A worker at the scene told the Shropshire Star that he did not know what had happened. The Shropshire Fire & Rescue Service had no record of any incident there.
Later on Sunday, temporary traffic lights were installed at the junction.
