NY Ave car crash flattens street lamp in front of Yale Lofts

I'm a little late with a report on this incident that occurred late last week as it took some time to obtain photos.

From a Yale resident:
There was a major traffic accident along NY Ave (on either late Sept 3rd or early AM September 4th), someone driving super-fast down New York Avenue by Yale Lofts took out the bus stop and a lamp post. The fallen lamp post is now blocking part of the Yale driveway.
From the photos below it appears the crash leveled a P6 Metrobus sign and a cobra light post.

If anyone has more details or better photos feel free to share.

Word around the building is that the vehicle that hit the lamp post was a police car...

A police car was involved in the crash. I do not know the details of how the crash happened. Below is a link to a photo of the cash scene:

There's been numerous reports of accidents where a car hits the curb jeopardizing pedestrian safety. It's especially alarming when a police car is involved.
