A taxi cab crashed into a tree on 46th Street between Pine and Osage after hitting at least two other cars and running along the sidewalk, according to a West Philly Local reader report. The accident happened around 5:30 p.m. No one appears to be seriously hurt, but the cabbie looked to be in a bit of shock, according to witnesses. It is unknown at this time what caused the accident.
Neighbor Joel DeGrands sent us the photo, wondering “what is up with this block?” since there was another car accident in that area recently when an SUV flipped on its side after hitting a few parked cars and a large tree suddenly fell last week, causing blockage of Pine Street for several hours.

I can’t believe this. My parked car was one of the ones hit. What on earth makes someone do this?

Thinking they can drive dangerously and nothing bad will happen. That describes a large portion of the driving all around the area. Eventually some condition changes and they crash.
