One of Northwestern’s concrete signs was damaged in an early-morning car accident Wednesday, according to campus police. Around 1 a.m., a driver on 8th Street in Alva was approaching the stop light at Oklahoma Boulevard, where this sign is. The person, whose identity was not released, was driving too fast for the conditions of the roadway, which was covered in snow, police said. The driver applied his brakes at the stop light but was unable to stop, hitting the sign and crushing portions of it. An accident report was filed, police said. As of press time, the grille from the vehicle was still at the scene of the crash, and tire tracks were still visible in the snow.
