Brief: Mercedes rams house on Edgewood Avenue; no injuries reported
A black Mercedes sedan crashed into the first floor of 61 Edgewood Ave., smashing the front staircase and leaving a five-foot-tall hole, around 12:30 Monday morning.
Although the car had a New Haven Police Department decal on the driver’s side passenger window, an NHPD spokeswoman could not confirm that the car was stolen. The house is occupied by Yale students and employees of Gourmet Heaven on Broadway.

"the wheels and brakes of the car had jammed"... B.S!!! This guy drove past my house doing at least 90 MPH down edgewood. Where edgewood crosses dwight, there is a slight jog in the road and edgewood narrows. He was going so fast he lost it. I was there before any cops and the guy was trying to get away, he took off on foot just before the first cop arrived. The cop drove up on the sidewalk half way down the block to corral the guy. He's damn lucky no one was in the bed that was immediately against the wall he smashed through. People blow through the light at edgewood and dwight all day long, this is the 5th major accident I've seen here in one year. This guy hit a fucking HOUSE, wtf?, where are the cops?
wow,thank god no-one got hurt.This driver was probably bombed out of his mind,frozen drunk.he just might be a cop and was escorted away.
Did any one get a case number ?
was he ticketed ?
