There should be a police report in written form for this incident, which you can request via the FOIA process. Here’s the form: [link]

Expect it to take 5 business days, and expect to pay $0.05 per page. The department is obliged to respond.

That said–and you can’t see this from the pic–but skid marks make it pretty clear that the driver tried to pull a left *crazy fast* from Stadium to St Francis. He/she skidded and went wide, jumped the curb, flattened the signal, and went another 20+ feet *entirely on the easement and sidewalk*, running the passenger side of the car along the St Francis church playground fence, before swooping back out and nailing the ped xing sign (this is how he/she laid out the sign and signal, but missed the delicate lil tree between them–viewed from the sky, his/her progress described a question mark w/ its foot pointing down Stadium
toward Ypsilanti).

So, as far as the drunk. Either:

1) I mis-remembered the conversation. I *believe* I said something like “Some stupid drunk ran down the signal at…” and the Sunday-morning officer said “Yeah, we had someone out at the accident last night.” But memory is a flexible bullet. 
2) I recall the conversation accurately, but the cop didn’t actually hear me say “drunk,” and thus was saying “Yeah, we know about the sign,” not “Yeah, it was a drunk idiot.”
3) Noting that the cop I talked to Sunday morning didn’t have to transfer me to anyone, he may have already been in the loop about the accident, and thus knew things that either a) have yet to be integrated into/linked with the record that was pulled up this morning, or b) were not recorded formally for whatever reason. 

Conclusion: Our crosswalk sign is trashed, regardless of the politics or sobriety of the diver. Fingers crossed that someone will dig up enough dough to fix it soonishly, as two different schools and at least one scrubby bicyclist use it daily.
