Drunk driver damages brand new wall

At around 12:45 a.m. on May 15, a 17-year-old male driver drove into a newly constructed brick wall in the H Street Plaza. The intoxicated driver was going westbound on H Street, did not stop at the stop sign and ran into the wall, which had been finished by the contractor just one week earlier. A light pole was also knocked loose and went flying through the pavilion. According to the Blaine police department, the driver was not injured. “He was okay other than being very inebriated,” said a spokesperson. The new wall, made of repurposed bricks featuring the names of plaza donors, may have saved the driver from going over the edge of the plaza.
