We have a few more photos on our Facebook page.

He must have been going at quite a clip to take out a steel fence panel & foundation, and do a 180 on the way in. Hopefully his insurance will cover the damage....

No one injured, but some gardeners were near by....

This is America, we don't hold automobile drivers accountable here. You can speed through a stop sign in the back bay and brutally kill 2 pedestrians and you'll still get your license back.

Clearly there's a demand for a road in this spot - why is it instead wasted on a garden when it could be paved over and enjoyed by everyone instead?

That section of Berkeley feels like a racetrack

Open space on the left, backs of buildings on the right

Three wide straight lanes, an open invitation for speed

Passengers reportedly fled on foot. Driver caught. First nice night for a convertible ride.
