BREAKING: Car crash on Fifth Avenue

We spoke to an injured student

According to an Eyewitness, “A black SUV was speeding down the wrong way of the bus lane. He jumped the curb right by the University Store and knocked out the protective gate, and a lamp-post before crashing into the wall.

“He may have hit another car – I couldn’t see.

“The kid who broke his leg (Rawlins is his name) was a Duquesne kid walking towards the tower when he heard the car hop the curb – he broke for it and made it pretty far away from the crash. He got hit by debris from the lamp-post.

“I talked to him for a bit and he was powering through it. I even said ‘Wow, you’re a champ,’ and he said ‘Yeah well adrenaline is one hell of a drug'”
