Spectacular Holiday Lights Display Goes Dark

A spectacular holiday light display in Ohio has already gone dark.

Carson Williams always said that if his 25,000-light display caused problems, he'd shut it down.

Tuesday, Williams did just that.

Police said that people coming to see the display, synchronized with music on a low-power FM station, posed a traffic problem.

Two cars collided in a minor accident at about 7:30 p.m. Tuesday on Simpson Creek Drive, a road in Williams' subdivision. Heather Sloan was cited for improper backing after she hit an SUV that was parked in a driveway. Authorities couldn't get through the traffic to respond, but no one was injured.

This was the third year for Williams' display, which has been featured at several sites on the Internet and on the "Today" show.

There is no word if Williams intends to do it again next year.
