“Dear PoPville,

an incident that occurred just before/around 2:00 p.m. on Thursday, July 21, 2022 at Rhode Island Avenue Metro. My nanny’s father was crossing the street and was struck by a motorcycle in the crosswalk. The motorcyclist got off his bike, helped my nanny’s father up and then took off. My nanny’s father sustained some injuries. I am looking for any eyewitnesses to the incident or camera/video footage of the incident.”

Anyone with info/footage can email me at [email protected] and I’ll put you in touch with OP.

“Dear PoPville,

Can you help me find anyone who may have info about my mother in laws hit and run which happened, Saturday (7/23), around noon. We’re hoping to find someone that saw the vehicle or would have doorbell cam footage of the car going past their house.

She was walking through the intersection at North Carolina and 8th St SE when someone ran a red light, hit her, and sped off. It happened around 11:45am-12pm. (more…)


Update: Kristin reports: “quite the scene at the Watergate building. Bystanders telling me driver was an older woman, seemed like a medical emergency situation.”

Thanks to Stephan, Brian and everyone else who messaged us around 3pm: “Hey, looks like this SUV hit the blue car, went through the glass barrier and crashed into the lower level of the building. (more…)
