A reader writes: “Reporting this accident from earlier today at 11:55am. A man was actually seated at the bench at the time, jumped about 10 ft in the air on impact, ran and then actually came back and helped the driver behind the wheel.

Police arrived on the scene, I believe the driver was taken away in a firetruck. Not clear if there were any serious injuries. MPD was on the scene and had blocked off the area while inspecting the damage to the benches and the historic call box when I walked past around 12:45pm. The tow truck arrived at 1:53pm to remove the vehicle.

“Dear PoPville,

A young woman in north Dupont circle is letting her large black lab run around the streets unleashed. It aggressively jumped on me as I was running while she was half a block away. When I asked her to leash her dog, instead of apologizing she angrily held up a leash in her hand. The thing about leashes is that they need to be on the dog. (more…)
