Now here’s something you don’t see everyday: this afternoon, a cab driver apparently drove his taxi through a wire fence and into the middle of the McMillan Sand Filtration Site. A reader who requested to remain anonymous emailed us these images, telling DCist that the cab driver “ran through the fence across from Children’s Hospital” at around 12:50 this afternoon. Officers from the Metropolitan Police Department and an ambulance eventually arrived on the scene to help the cab driver and investigate precisely how the situation occurred. Our tipster also notes that the damaged section of the fence was already being re-patched by workers as he walked by.

From the pictures, it’s clear that the cab is operated by Barwood. A spokesperson for Barwood was not immediately available for comment.
