Metro senior David Brennan looks at the AHEC facilities truck that his
vehicle collided with as he waits for a tow truck Sept. 22. The accident
occurred as Brennan was making a U-turn in pursuit of a coveted 25 cent-an-hour
metered parking spot on 5th Street west of campus. Brennan said he thinks
more parking should be made available to students. “They need to
revise the parking situation.”
