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 not alone. The voters in DC elected him to office numerous times.

Not to worry, folks. If Marion Barry dies, he will still be voting Democrat for the next 150 years from the grave.
