Holy smokes – this insanity was tweeted by DC Fire and EMS Saturday around 2pm:
“This was the scene this morning at Rock Creek Parkway and P St NW after a vehicle went into the creek. #DCsBravest searched the vehicle and adjacent area and found no victims.”
Thanks to Mary for sending:
“13th st nw closed between monroe and otis because of, uh, this”
And Lauren:
“Does Vision Zero encompass not flipping cars on a two-lane residential street during rush hour?
Just before 6:30pm Tuesday, 13th St NW just north of Monroe. You can guess the tag.”
A reader reports yesterday:
“I went to Giant Foods in Columbia heights to buy some groceries and I saw this mess in its parking garage. I was told it was a fourth car involved which was all destroyed, besides the truck that caused the accident. That happened on Saturday but I went on Sunday afternoon and the cars were still there.”
Dianne reports from Connecticut and Macomb Street, NW around 9:45am.
Alert DC reports:
“one left lane is getting by on Connecticut Ave NW. Please proceed with caution and follow police direction.”
Yikes, hope everyone is OK. Thanks to Adam Owens for sending: “Constellation on H suffered a direct hit…”
Update from Grant: (more…)
