"Did any of your volunteer journalists pedal by to report the facts?" Verification by the police department is accepted by all major news outlets. "When is Laist going to get a new crop of American Apparel models?" You are welcome to submit a sample post and if we can't nit-pick it to death over every little thing that we imagine is wrong with it because we didn't read it thoroughly, then maybe you can do this job better. I have to go now and hop on my bike to stalk train-wreck actors all night in the hopes they will eventually get in an accident. I'm on the Courtney Love beat this week, so hopefully I won't have to pedal too fast.

How hard is it to do this with an SUV? You kinda have to go out of your way. This dick tooling around, with someone else's chick no less, is the male equivilent of whatever screw-up female is out there right now- of which there are too many to mention exclusively! Anyone still remember the couple holding hands on Hollywood a few nights back, just before they were slaughtered by an ASS? Take this LeBOOB and stick him where people like to go where the sun don't shine :)

Hi Armin, I did explain that: "the corner of Fountain and La Brea lies at the boundary of West Hollywood and Los Angeles (police confirm to LAist that it did, in fact, take place within West Hollywood)"

Hey Zach- If you're going to blame the LA Times for shoddy geographic reporting, maybe you could taken an extra a couple minutes to explain how the intersection of La Brea and Fountain is the the exact border between WeHo and Los Angeles proper. Judging by the way the overturned car is pointing the the photo, it looks like might have spun like a top a time or two after impact. How do you know that vehicle didn't actually get hit in Los Angeles and come to a stop in West Hollywood? Did any of your volunteer journalists pedal by to report the facts? When is Laist going to get a new crop of American Apparel models?

I doesn't seem like LAist is intentionally being an apologist or what, but being in a "minor accident" where my car was flipped by a drunk driver, it looks just as bad as it is.

That corner just has the worst luck. Poor Edible Creations. I blame it on Kat Von D's tattoo parlor.

I can't imagine they'd make the same mistake if it happened in North Hollywood. So I'll chalk it up to lazy reporting.

should've driven Bumblebee and none of this would have ever happened.
