A driver trying to beat the wait at a McDonalds drive through got more than she bargained for on Monday. September 17th.
The woman behind the wheel tried to race around other cars waiting in line at the fast food restaurant at 5948 Georgia Avenue. N.W. Her vehicle sped over the curb, crashed thru a wrought iron fence and careened over a retaining wall.

When firefighters arrived, the car was standing vertically on its nose,
with only a pole it was leaning against preventing the vehicle from
completely falling over.
Members of Rescue Squad 2, assisted by other units on the rescue local,
began the precarious task of stabilizing the vehicle so its two
occupants could be safely removed. These efforts were successful, and
both patients were transported to area hospitals with non life
threatening injuries. |
