In the evening rush hour of Tuesday, March 20, a BMW driver heading westbound on Sunset entered the Palisades Lutheran Church property via the handicapped curb cut, skidded across the plastic turf, just missing a telephone pole, a wrought-iron bus bench and newly planted trees, before coming to rest on a low concrete wall. Witnesses said that he was avoiding hitting another car that had made an illegal left-hand turn from the eastbound lane of Sunset onto El Medio Avenue. No one was hurt. Los Angeles Fire Department Station 69 and three AAA trucks were able to remove the BMW without further damage to the landscaping.
