driving dangerously
“Dear PoPville,
According to witnesses on the scene. Around midnight. A car traveling in westbound lanes of RI Ave, jumped the curb full speed into circle, plowed thru a row of benches and iron fences, leaving a debris field, before hitting that tree, scraping off bark, and spinning around to face 180 degrees. Good thing no one was sitting in those benches or walking their dogs. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I’m hoping you can help me find a witness. Around 2:45 pm yesterday (Wed.), I was stopped at the light on Park Place and Kenyon Street NW. I was in the left lane, next to the southbound bike lane. Very suddenly, 2-3 cars (maybe Kia Souls? Those boxy kind of cars) sped by going through the red light on my right, and another came up behind me and drove over the flexiposts/concrete through the bike lane to do the same. There were no cyclists or others in the lane, thank goodness.
I heard a scrape, not a crash, and was so stunned I didn’t know what to do. As I got out to look at the car, I noticed scratches and scraping. I then saw a police car drive by, and turn right on Kenyon (not following any of the cars, no lights on, etc). (more…)
