A four door vehicle flipped over on Massachusetts Avenue sometime around 6 p.m. on Nov. 5, damaging two other vehicles and closing a block of traffic until 7 p.m.
The accident occurred on the southbound lane between Macomb and 39th street. The vehicle was moving very quickly to merge onto the curbside southbound lane, according to Abubeker Mohammed, a taxi driver whose car was damaged. Mohammed said he saw the vehicle flip three times.
Another car swerved to miss the flipped car and hit Mohammed’s cab, he said.
Mohammed said 911 took “20 minutes” to respond on scene. He and other witnesses on the scene helped carry passengers out of the flipped car. One passenger was unconscious and taken on an ambulance; the second passenger was able to walk and was not taken to the hospital, according to Mohammed.
The vehicle was towed away by 7 p.m., at which point all four lanes on Massachusetts Avenue reopened for traffic.
