From MPD:
“Detectives with the Metropolitan Police Department’s Major Crash Investigations Unit are investigating a traffic fatality resulting from a traffic crash that occurred on Friday, February 3, 2023, in the 3000 block of 20th Street, Northeast.
The preliminary investigation revealed that at approximately 11:43 p.m., a 2004 Infiniti G35 was traveling north in the 3000 block of 20th Street, Northeast, at a high rate of speed.
The driver of the Infiniti lost control of the vehicle and struck a Jeep Cherokee that was parked on the westbound curb. The force of the impact pushed the Jeep backwards into a Nissan Xterra, in which the Nissan was pushed into a BMW 3 Series. The Jeep then hopped the curb and was redirected northbound approximately 20 feet before coming to final rest on the sidewalk. DC Fire and Emergency Medical Services responded to the scene and after finding no signs consistent with life, the driver remained on the scene until transported to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner.
The decedent has been identified as 22-year-old Andy Carino, of Severna Park, MD.
Anyone who has knowledge of this incident should call police at (202) 727-9099 or text your tip to the Department’s TEXT TIP LINE at 50411.”
I have a short MPD report on this crash, but many photos/video from neighbors; I struggled with if/when to share more publicly, but ultimately decided folks should see the consequences of our policies/inaction. 🧵(/5) CW: traffic violence. https://t.co/lUqJNU7bni pic.twitter.com/exUORdsmqQ

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
