Former D.C. Mayor Marion Barry was hospitalized Saturday night after he drove a vehicle into an oncoming lane of traffic and was involved in a wrong-way car crash on Pennsylvania Avenue in Southeast.

Mr. Barry’s spokeswoman Latoya Foster said the 78-year-old, now a D.C. Council member representing Ward 8, “had a hypoglycemic attack, became disoriented and had a minor fender bender.”

“He’s OK,” she said of Mr. Barry.

He was on the phone with his wife.

She called to warn him there was a wrong way driver on Pennsylvania Ave.

He told her, 'It's not just one, there are hundreds of them!!!'

They did the Heimlich maneuver on him and the crack pipe popped out on the second attempt.

Seems Barry has a hard time distinguishing between a head on collision and a fender bender.

87% of the National population is also skeptical of Marion Barry’s irrational action.
