Car Smashup on Smith Street

2006_11_caraccident.jpg

If you enjoyed yesterday's post about the massive fire on 4th Avenue in Park Slope, then you'll probably like this one as well. Lindsay sent in a bunch of pictures of a big accident on Smith Street and President, along with this account:

A little after 11, a drunk flipped his car on Smith Street in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn. The vehicle skidded out of control at the corner of Smith and President, sideswiped a parked van, and ricocheted off to the other side of the street. As you can see, it flipped over somewhere in that process.

Amazingly, no one was seriously injured.

The cops arrested the driver as soon as he managed to wriggle out the drivers' side window.

    ComeOnNow - Jen and Jake can't be bothered with real news; you should know by now that Gothamist is reserved for stories about lame graffiti vandals, pictures of their friends ugly pets, and homeless-man-on-the-street news.

    Did you folks somehow miss that the NYPD shot three people and killed a groom on his wedding day? Jeez:
