Broad daylight yesterday revealed the full extent of damage caused by a vehicle that jumped the curb in the 7800 block of Wisconsin Avenue in Bethesda late Tuesday night. Several signs, parking meters, and at least one street tree were knocked over or destroyed, as the car traveled a significant distance northbound on the sidewalk. No information about the cause of the accident has been released, which is why I have used the term "vehicle" instead of "driver," as the reason the car left the roadway is not known at this time. However, it is rare that police release a statement about non-fatal accidents, so we may not learn what exactly transpired here. Hopefully, Montgomery County and the Maryland State Highway Administration can recover the costs of this damage for the taxpayer.

Good thing no pedestrians or bicyclists got run over, either.
Another good reason for bike lanes, a buffer!
