Usually, when we hear that a cyclist and a driver got into an altercation, the end result is rarely a good one. This time, it was, well, interesting.

Earlier this morning, a tipster wrote DCist about police activity that had closed down Dupont Circle:

Dupont Circle is closed by police–cop cars, bike police, fire truck, ambulance all blocking traffic because of an incident between a bike commuter and a car commuter.

Oh shit! Did the car run over the bike? No.

There is some bike/car skirmishing in traffic between some dude on a sick ride with fenders, kinda dutch style and a crappy blue Honda–but no contact. The woman in the car curses out the biker for crusing [sic] around between cars and being in her way. He curses back. Then she really starts cursing him out, screaming and yelling, following him around the circle in traffic telling him to go f*ck himself the whole time. She’s yelling so forcefully and aggressively that her water breaks. She goes into labor. And biker calls ambulance to take her to hospital to have her baby.

That is all.

D.C. Fire/EMS spokesman Pete Piringer confirmed that an ambulance was called to Massachusetts Avenue around Dupont Circle at 9:55 a.m. for a woman in labor. She was taken away as a “priority two,” which means that her water had broken.

Due to medical privacy laws, Piringer wasn’t able to offer up much more information, but we’ll do our best to nail down exactly what happened and if mother and child are safe and sound. If anyone has any additional tips to offer, please get in touch.
