Oof, thanks to Whitney for sending Sunday from: “3rd Street and Whittier Streets NW
clearly someone completely smashed into the front of this parked car and drove off. Totaled, no doubt, and also hit the two cars behind it because of the force.”
driving dangerously
633 D Street, NW
Natalia reports around 10:15am:
“Knocked out at least two windows. Someone affiliated with the restaurant said a truck was driving on the sidewalk and ran into the restaurant.”
Ed. Note: Earlier this morning there was an incident outside Ford’s theater but that was not a truck. I don’t believe the two are related but updates if that changes.
Hope reports:
“Walking to work past Ford’s theater this morning and a car was coming toward a bunch of us walking on the sidewalk. The car hit a trash can and the driver jumped out. A Good Samaritan turned the car off because it started to roll back down the sidewalk. FBI police chased driver down the street on foot. (more…)

hahaha bless MGM Roast Beef for keeping an excellent sense of humor through it all:
“We’re still closed.
Whoever started the rumor that we have a drive through window around back is wrong!
Can’t wait to re-open!
STAY TUNED FOR UPDATES!”

Thanks to Beth for sending around noon yesterday:
“Someone not only turned onto the streetcar bridge but kept driving until he hit the literal tracks.”
Most folks thought Lyft/Uber driver but I’m going with following the GPS given the Alabama license plates.
Thanks to sapientpig for sending around 5:30pm Thursday.

“Dear PoPville,
Yesterday while driving to work on the BW Parkway, I had the absolute scariest experience of my life. Without reliving it, I will just say that this fellow driver should not be allowed to drive– this was not your standard speeding, or tailgating, or merging when you shouldn’t, or just being a “Maryland driver” that we all love to hate. This was intentional insanity with no regards to my safety, any other driver’s safety, or quite frankly, his own. I was very lucky that I emerged unscathed from his two attempts to cause an accident with my car, but I am incredibly concerned that he is still on the road.
My question is this: is there a way to report drivers like this? (more…)
