Jeep Drives Thru Bus Shelter Closes W117/Highland Ave.

Postby Jim O'Bryan » Sun Mar 17, 2019 5:28 pm

Shortly after 5pm, reports came in fast and furious. "Police Ambulances all over Highland Ave.," Guy calling from the corner says, Big jeep drives through a bus shelter at W117 and Clifton. I was a block away so I walked over.

The man on the phone said, "Had it happened 15 minutes earlier they would have killed everyone in that bus shelter."

Black jeep is in the background.

Jeep turning left onto Highland Ave. (South W117) lost control and destroyed the shelter.

It was indeed lucky that no one was hurt. People coming home from parade. Twist Social Club two storefronts away partying hard.

West 117/Highland Avenue was closed while the debris was cleaned up and car towed away.

Should be opened by 7pm.

Good work Lakewood Police and Fire Departments.

Be safe!
