Jackie Geilfuss looked down from her Kendall Square office around 11 a.m. to see a car turned turtle on Broadway.
Cambridge Police report:

Give them a ticket, too
They're blocking the bike lane.
Looked pretty bad; glad everyone is okay-ish.
Also glad that everyone
appears to be OK-ish. But, after reading your comment, I couldn't help but be reminded of an old line from M*A*S*H
They're blocking all the lanes
Damn blue spiny shells!
Impressive
That is one impressively clean car underside.
Glad I wasn't the only one to
Glad I wasn't the only one to notice that.
Always keep your underside clean!
You never know when you will have an accident!
wha??
Anyone know how this guy managed to flip the car??? Didn't see anything in the news.
Supposedly took a right turn onto Broadway then passed out
The folks who work at 150 Broadway were discussing how it could have happened. Someone I know who works there but didn't witness the crash heard that she (female driver) took the right turn from Galileo Galilei Way onto Broadway, may have passed out, and doesn't remember how it happened.
It is sometimes possible to flip a car without going very fast.
High curb
There is a rather high curb there on the median - at least 6", maybe more. If she somehow got up onto it (say, swerving to avoid a car pulling into or out of a spot) and was going a bit fast, it could flip the car.
