accident at Venable and 24th

An accident at Venable and 24th Streets involving a police cruiser and an allegedly “very drunk man” in a minivan left the cruiser wedged against a power pole, the minivan smashed in the middle of 24th, and parts and pieces of both scattered all over the intersection. At the scene, at least one of the elderly residents of the Church Hill House was complaining of being hit by debris from the accident; no word on possible injuries to either of the drivers.
