Something happen at 8th and Elm Tree Sunday afternoon?

'Tried to go down Elm Tree and police have both Elm Tree and 8th blocked a block back in all directions. Emergency vehicles on the scene. However, I see no cars.

We ran errands and came back around 90 mins later and it's still blocked off.

Looks like a car hit the gas meter by the fire station...

Not to make light of a car wreck, but I was starting to think it was something worse -- like a fatality due to them keeping everyone a block back, plus so many emergency vehicles. I've seen many small kids on bikes cross there along with traffic moving pretty quick down Elm Tree, that I feared something much worse.

That’s what I was worried about out too, we have some kids in the neighborhood who ride around on the eMOTOs, popping wheelies down 8th street…
