On Monday morning, Feb. 25, a barge with a crane removes a crashed limousine from city property in the 7700 block of West Mercer Way three weeks after the limo, from Metropolitan Town Car, vaulted off of a concrete parking area at the base of a steep driveway, overturned and landed 25 feet down an embankment near the shoreline.

The limo's removal had initially been scheduled for the previous Friday but was postponed due to wind and adverse weather conditions.
