Scene of accident at 8th and Jefferson Street, NW
Neighbors report that a death occurred from a resident lighting off fireworks on Friday night around 10:30/11pm in Brightwood Park. Some details and other photos I received were pretty graphic so I won’t be sharing them. I haven’t seen any police/fire reports but will update if any info is released.
*This series will feature any pets in a backpack/bag. On metro, or not. Corgi, or not.
Thanks to Lauren for sending this desperately needed “”Corgi” in a backpack spotted taking a ride at Hains Point.”
