Car flips on Hyde Park Avenue at JP/Roslindale line

Sideways car on Hyde Park Avenue

Roving UHub photographer Jeremy Robertson captured the newly sideways car on Hyde Park Avenue northbound near Southbourne Road near Pagel Playground this evening.

The car came to rest a few feet from a 30-mph sign. In the photo, the car is hiding a second car, parked at the curb, that suffered heavy damage to the left rear.

A car can flip going at a low speed. I'm too lazy to track down the video, but someone did post a video of a car going probably 20 mph flipping over.

We get it: All these Rozzie drivers flip because they go too slow.

How do you know it was going slow?

And Adam doesn’t know how fast the car was going.

And that was my point.

It may not require speed, but it does require an idiotic driver who should lose their license.

No? Then STFU until we have some facts. The driver could've swerved to avoid a jaywalking pedestrian for all we know. It might not be likely, but it's just as plausible as whatever imagined scenario is in your head. Quit passing judgement with no information to back it up.

You don't swerve to avoid a jaywalking pedestrian (or a child running into the street, or a pet who got off the leash, or any other sudden obstacle). You just hit the brakes, and if you don't exceed the posted speed limit more than by 10 miles, you'll stop in time.

Never swerve? Ever? If you have a quick enough reaction time, and enough warning, and good brakes, maybe you will stop in time. Maybe you won't. It's impossible to say that's true, every time, for every situation. Where are you pulling this 10mph buffer number from? Your ass?

I was merely commenting on the lack of information to support our resident car-hater's conclusion that the driver should lose his/her license, based on exactly zero evidence in this article. Perhaps I should have given a tire blowout as an example instead of an emergency swerve, since you know for sure that there's no need to swerve around anything ever.

When driving through a densely-populated area, a driver is supposed to anticipate the possibility of a child running into the street to chase after a ball or whatever, or a Jay-walking pedestrian being stupid, and slow down. There's no telling what will happen.

The chances are that the car that flipped over was being driven too fast, as opposed to driving too slow.

I remember seeing this happen one night around 2015-2016 at the exact spot across from Pagel Field on Hyde Park Ave North. A car driving fast clipped a parked car and flipped right there.

stupid, indeed.

Median syrops just encourage speeding by giving an artificial feeling of safety to cars. They also are wasted space that could be used for wider sidewalks or more green space along the sidewalks.

....drive like animals. Hyde Park Ave, Washington Street and major connecting streets between them (like Florence) are miniature speedways.

Never mind that many cars seem to have dubiously passed state inspections as the only things in good condition are the sound systems blaring music.

I never knew animals knew how to drive. Wild times we live in.
