A nighttime accident Nov. 8 on Garden Avenue in front of the Webster University Bookstore left one woman injured.

According to Webster Groves Police Officer Jason Flanery, the unnamed woman was driving westbound on Garden Avenue when her vehicle, a gray Mazda 626, flipped after sideswiping an SUV parked on the north side of Garden. According to witnesses, the driver was not speeding at the time, Flanery said.

The driver was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, Flanery said.

Nerinx Hall senior Nicki Shamel, the owner of the parked car, said police told her that her 2004 Ford Escape was too damaged to drive.

The night dispatcher at the Webster Groves Police Department said the department received about a dozen 911 calls about the incident at 8:25 p.m. Police and fire vehicles from Webster Groves and an ambulance from Shrewsbury responded to the accident.
