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.”

Ms. Foster said both the diabetic former mayor and his passenger, who she did not identify, were being checked out for injuries.

“He’s OK,” she said of Mr. Barry.

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

Inquiring minds want to know, from just which “orifice” did the crack pipe exit?
Maybe it was the “Hinelick Maneuver.”
