I think we can learn from this accident that newspaper boxes should not be on street corners, and buildings pose a serious hazard to automobile traffic. Why were there no big fluffy barriers between the building and the street?
Tom: You have got to be freakin' kidding. Those newspaper boxes may have saved a life or three. Thank God for the newspaper industry. Just think how many innocent bystanders and pedestrians were saved by the newspaper boxes. Now go buy a paper and help to save a life.

Darn. That's an intense accident. It looks intense in the pictures. Hope the man will be okay.
P.S. The ambulance in the picture, 13, was the one that responded to my school bus accident 2 weeks ago.

Looks more like a 40-something guy, Craig, and not an 'elderly woman', as was reported on Rogers Park Bench.
No one was talking about the sex on scene. Only if the person was alive or dead. Scanner says it was a female. I agree, looks like a guy.
Craig's right. Scanner talk said female. http://rogersparkbench.blogspot.com/2009/02/car-runs-into-devon-morseview-drugs.html

Do you have any more info on the injured person? I have no police scanner.
Was it serious, in that the injured person had to remain in hospital?
Just concerned.
james, tom mannis was being sarcastic. He was not seriously advocating tree or paper box removal.
Those paper boxes definitely saved his life, I agree.
DID THE DRIVER HONK FIRST TO SEE IF THE BUILDING WOULD MOVE?
