“Dear PoPville,
I was among several individuals who witnessed a hit-and-run property incident at 17th & S NW earlier today (Friday) and had a very disappointing interaction with the MPD.
Around 2:45pm, a black vehicle in motion collided with a parked car on 17th St NW, causing a loud crunching noise that attracted the attention of many people nearby. At least 4-5 people witnessed the collision itself or its direct aftermath. The speed, sound, and blatant nature of someone smashing into a stationary object seemed to suggest that the driver might be impaired or otherwise distracted.
The impact caused significant damage to the parked car. The driver, after a brief pause, decided to drive away from the scene down an adjacent alley.
Several of us onlookers gathered to discuss what had just happened. At least one had written down the license plate number. Another started writing a note to leave on the damaged car for the owner.
Within a mere minute or two of the incident, an MPD cruiser passed by on S Street with two officers inside. I thought, “What luck!” I waved it down to stop and went to talk to the officers to explain what had happened.
I was shocked by the response. (more…)
