I was photographing the front of the Bodnar Funeral Home on Lorain Rd. and crossed over to the north side of the street to get a wider view when I heard multiple sirens close by and the sound of gunning engines. A rusty sedan heading north at high speed, 50 or better, on West 40th St., followed by three screaming black-and-whites. Just north of the intersection, the sedan began to fishtail, striking a number of cars parked curbside hard enough that the glass on each shattered to a white opaqueness before collapsing inward. A full-frontal smack into another parked car brought the sedan to a stop. Before the driver could get out, the black-and-whites had hemmed it in, and the police were out of their cars, shielded by the doors, guns drawn.
Decided it was not in my interest to approach and take a few snaps. I trotted back across Lorain to the funeral home, turned around and caught the sun striking the vacant buildings across the street.
