The aftermath of a car crash. A gold-colored Toyota sedan is buried in rubble with its front end poking into a barbershop on the ground floor of a two-story brick building with several small business storefronts. Above it, a section of the building's wall is completely collapsed, leaving second-floor offices exposed to the open air. Several firefighters mill about in the foreground across the street.

The roadway includes two parking lanes against the curbs, two travel lanes for cars, and two green-painted bike lanes in between the parking and moving vehicle lanes. In the middle distance is a traffic light at the intersection of Packard Avenue. The bike lanes do not continue beyond that intersection.
