Police Beat by Tom Geyer

Davenport police were searching early Friday for the driver of this 2001 Dodge Durango.
Cpl. Mike Schneider said the Durango was northbound on Brady Street when the driver lost control. The vehicle took down a utility pole and then sheared off a fire hydrant at Brady Street and Palmer Drive. It then felled a sign for Trinity Episcopal Cathedral.
The Durango came to rest under the tree in the yard of the cathedral.
Schneider said that motorcyclists who witnessed the crash told him the driver fled the scene on foot toward Central High School.
Schneider said the driver will be issued traffic citations for striking fixtures and failure to maintain control of the vehicle. Other charges could be pending if the driver does not have a valid driver’s license.
