UPDATE: Crash at 21st and Myrtle, driver in custody

9:23 PM: You might have heard the sirens a little while ago – a big initial response for a crash at 21st SW and SW Myrtle. It was first called out as a “heavy rescue,” but it’s been scaled back. We don’t have details on the circumstances but are off to check.

9:54 PM: It was a one-car crash at the curve by Sanislo Elementary. The car went into the shrubs on the slope west of the corner, north of the stairs. The driver got himself out, police told us at the scene, and is unhurt, but is in custody, while they investigate the possibility of DUI.

ADDED FRIDAY AFTERNOON: Online records show a 34-year-old man was cited for being under the influence.

    that holiday cheer gets you at times. I had some myself….but I was just across the hall…a quick commute involving no car…

    We saw several people driving poorly on our way back from the U-district last night. Not fun.

Sorry, comment time is over.
