A friend of mine used to live on 14th Street near Shepherd and her parked car got hit three times. Three freaking times. She finally moved. I had no idea this was such a common occurrence. Thanks to a reader for sending the photos. The reader writes:
“I awoke @ 2:30 a.m. to engine roaring, screeching of tires, and a lot of smoke as the driver of a Toyota SUV detached the front wheel off by forcing the vehicle into reverse until the wheel wrenched off its axle. The wheel was stuck, damaged , in the storm drain after hitting my sister’s car and bouncing back. Unbelievably the driver was able to force the SUV onward another 1/2 mile with only 3 wheels and a deployed airbag, up a big curb by Children’s. I gave chase and took more pics. The ambulance was treating the guy who was not seriously injured. It was not a stolen the car – the driver/owner was that drunk. 8 or so other cars were damaged. Sis’s car was pushed into the car ahead with enough force to destroy its bumper and break the rear window.”
Intangible Arts also heard from the reader and heard the accident itself on Irving Street.
Insane. Has this happened to anyone else reading here? More photos after the jump.

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.
You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.
It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
