Car flips over at Mt. Vernon's Washington Monument

A car crashed into a Washington Monument park wall on Thursday at approximately 10 a.m., overturning and injuring a passenger and damaging the historic monument. The flipped over four-door gray sedan blocked traffic on Washington Place just south of the 178-foot column to West Centre Street for at least an hour while police investigated and roped off a damaged stone wall in the park's South Garden.
