If the driver did this with said intent, I believe it is safe to say they are not bright. Very, very, very not bright. (I think it is rude to call people morons)

It wouldn't surprise me if one of the merchants has a a camera that caught some of this accident. Cameras aren't great, but they are better than nothing. I would like the pct to put some effort into catching such folks.

Happened after 8 pm (when I used the ATM - for the last time I suppose) and before 7:45 am when I walked the pup. Guessing it was in the wee hours but will have to wait for residential security cams on St Marks to hopefully show a smashed-up car driving off the sidewalk. Unfortunately there was no camera trained on the ATM itself. Hopefully the brickwork won't force Gen to close during repairs. Maybe someone heard/saw something?

I saw this this am too. Did it happen over night or around 8:20 this am? I didn't notice it when I walked my dog past it twice around 8:15 but when I left for work at 8:30 the cop car was there and a bunch of people were standing around looking at the scene.

It appears at some point early Tuesday AM a car or truck going eastbound on St Marks at Washington Ave lost control, hopped the curb and smashed into Gen's (sushi restaurant) outdoor ATM - destroying a security shutter and planter - and doing considerable damage to the ground floor brick wall. Apparently the driver fled; based on the damage, he or she has a seriously wrecked front-end. There appears to have been no shower of $20 bills...
