The car that crashed into a home in Georgetown around 8 p.m. last Thursday damaged the structural integrity of the house, making it unsafe for occupancy, according to Helder Gil, the Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs (DCRA) spokesman.

The collision partially blocked traffic on Wisconsin Avenue on Monday night.
Updated 10:51 p.m. A two-door Mitsubishi sports car traveling southbound on Wisconsin Avenue crashed into a Ford Escape on Monday evening. The Ford Escape, driven by Richard McKay, a Georgetown resident, was heading west on R Street sometime after 9:30 p.m., and was hit by the Mitsubishi. On Monday evening, it was unclear if the Mitsubishi had run a red light on Wisconsin Avenue.
