A Metrobus driver caused damage to at least a half-dozen vehicles parked along a street in D.C.’s Cleveland Park neighborhood early Tuesday. Just after 1 a.m., a Metrobus on the H4 route hit a parked vehicle at Porter Street and Connecticut Avenue Northwest, resulting in damage to multiple vehicles, a Metro spokesperson said in a statement Wednesday. There was only one passenger on the bus, but there were no reports of injury. “The bus operator was taken out of service for post-incident testing, which is standard procedure,” Metro spokesperson Sherri Ly said in the emailed statement. Photos and video shared on social media showed scattered debris on the road and noticeably damaged cars.
Kennedy Center renews call for Trump-backed shutdown after part of a ceiling collapses
WASHINGTON (AP) — A chunk of ceiling fell inside a main hallway of the Kennedy Center, according to a spokesperson who said the damage underscores the need to shut down the historic arts venue for renovations sought by President Donald Trump.
No one was injured when a piece of the ceiling inside the Kennedy Center's grand foyer collapsed Friday evening, said Roma Daravi, the center's vice president for public relations.
Photos provided by the center showed a large hole in the high ceiling and debris littering the red carpet in part of the hallway that connects the Kennedy Center's three main performance auditoriums. The damage occurred during stormy weather in Washington.
The Kennedy Center's Trump-aligned board is fighting in court to move forward with plans to add Trump's name to the building's facade and to close the center for two years as it undergoes $250 million in renovations.
