Collapsing wall crushes car on Mt. Washington

A pizza delivery driver escaped serious injury when a wall collapsed onto his vehicle in Mt. Washington on Saturday, a public safety spokeswoman said.

Sonya Toler said the driver had just parked on Virginia Avenue about 6:30 p.m., was out of the car and retrieving the food to deliver it when the retaining wall fell onto his car.

He was very fortunate and able to escape the collapse of the wall, Toler said.

However, the man did suffer an injury to his leg and went to a hospital for treatment, she said.

The box of pizza remains crushed on top of the car.

So far, police have not said what caused the collapse.
