A young man was being pursued by Prescott police and at high speeds ran the stop sign at Goodwin and Mt. Vernon streets, then lost control and wiped out our 25 year old hedge! Goodness sakes!
This hedge was put in to protect our yard from noise, dust and of course this very kind of accident. Lucky we put it in all those years back.
The young driver was not seriously injured. Seems there was alcohol involved and he had already had an accident in downtown Prescott for which he was being pursued. His father was very kind to leave a note with insurance information to have the hedge repaired. I'm sure it was that big plum tree that stopped the car from coming into the yard further but it was also likely the reason the car rolled over.
As you may imagine, the car was totaled and car parts were all over the yard and in the bushes. Amazing! At least he missed the glider swing which is one of my favorite things.
