Thanks to Christina for the cameraphone photo of a car that flipped in her Arbor Heights neighborhood, near 34th/100th SW – a few other people have texted/e-mailed. Just as we were writing this, our photographer arrived and confirms nobody’s hurt (which is why it wasn’t on the 911 log) – someone hit a parked car, theirs flipped, but everybody’s OK.
The flipped car already has been righted, but 34th is still partly blocked till everything’s cleared.
drunk? speeding? seriously. what’s the max speed on this street – 25?
Overhearing the cops on the scene, it appears the driver drove up on the parking strip, she swung the car hard over to avoid the parked car in front of her, clipped the Mini-Cooper and then flipped the car.
Alcohol not suspected, but speed and cell/texting are likely.
Wow, flipping a car on a residential street. Keep up the good work drivers.
As a follow up. The driver was NOT cited for driving under the influence, speeding, cell/texting, or reckless driving. It was just an accident.
Thanks, JC, I’d been trying to check with police but followup on crashes is difficult, particularly if they are not major (as in, requiring special investigation squad) – TR
Sorry, comment time is over.
