Was in Navy Yard yesterday (Thursday, 9/7), roughly lunchtime. Standing on the corner of 1st and M (by el bebe, catty corner from DC’s most authentic Mexican place, Pink Taco).

A guy in one of those three wheeled things (two wheels on front, one in back) is on M in the turning lane to go north on 1st. Light turns green, instead of waiting 10 seconds, driver tries to beat oncoming traffic for the turn. Slams on the gas and pulls hard left at the same time. Apparently too much torque for the vehicle, right front wheel casing cracks and then shatters, wheel flies off and bounces toward pink taco, axel hits the ground and the driver drags it on the ground for about half a block before realizing what happened.

you hate to see it
