“Porter Street, NW. Cars hit were in direction of rock creek/beach drive!”
A reader reports:
“Monday night at 1am a metro bus collided into 11 parked cars on Porter Street. I woke up at 1am to a huge crash and looked outside my window from my apartment building on Quebec Street, but didn’t see anything but the top of the metro bus. I found out this morning from my apartment building that the bus collided into the cars. I don’t know how much damage happened but I haven’t been able to find any information besides what my apartment building had sent the residents. I don’t know if anyone was hurt on the bus but sounds like so far just cars were damaged.”
Jay sends the above from SW: “Almost got run over by a biker when clearly there was no reason to be on a sidewalk.”

Derek sends 5pm yesterday. In March 2018 The Post reported about a horrific crash here:
“A fire engine responding to an emergency call Friday was involved in a crash that left a motorist dead and critically injured a pregnant pedestrian on Rhode Island Avenue in Northeast Washington, fire officials said.”
From 2018: (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
Not a great parking job, but it’s okay. Because if you look closely at the rear window, there is a homemade sign that reads “NEW DRIVER.” We were thinking that there should probably also be one that states “NEW PARKER.”
