On Monday night around 8pm, fire trucks closed off a section of N. 45th St. at Burke, and some of you asked what was up. We discovered that it was a rollover accident. This picture was taken by Amy:

Thanks, Amy, for sharing the photo with us! We hope the driver of the Mini is ok.

> hit the curb and the wheel exploded
How fast must one travel to accomplish that little feat?
I’ve seen it happen with someone going about 30 miles an hour – if your tire is bald, the pressure of hitting the curb will make it explode.
My reaction was the same as jro’s: when is traffic ever moving fast enough on 45th for a rollover accident, regardless of tire condition? Hope everyone’s ok.
I think the driver is ok, according to someone wrote on our Facebook page:
“I’m pretty sure the driver was okay. I saw her crawl out of the car and walk over to get checked out in the ambulance.”
