A reader writes: “Reporting this accident from earlier today at 11:55am. A man was actually seated at the bench at the time, jumped about 10 ft in the air on impact, ran and then actually came back and helped the driver behind the wheel.

Police arrived on the scene, I believe the driver was taken away in a firetruck. Not clear if there were any serious injuries. MPD was on the scene and had blocked off the area while inspecting the damage to the benches and the historic call box when I walked past around 12:45pm. The tow truck arrived at 1:53pm to remove the vehicle.
