"Then I called [the Harvard University Police Department (HUPD)]--they already knew about it and were on their way--and the House superintendent," Gerry wrote in an e-mail message.
Officers from both HUPD and the Cambridge Police Department, as well as city firefighters rushed to the scene after the accident. Within 15 minutes, about 50 onlookers crowded the corner.
Officers at the scene said neither driver was arrested, but declined to comment on possible traffic citations.
Gerry also called Michael L. Faye '02 and Duncan Hilton '02, residents of Quincy B-12, which is on the first floor near where the Blazer hit the building Faye said the crash was audible from the room, but everyone inside was fine.
"We are thankful the walls are so thick," Faye said.
The incident is part of a series of accidents in the last few years at the corner of Mill and Plympton Streets, which is bordered by Quincy, Leverett, Winthrop and Lowell Houses.
"This was now the second time that happened this year," Faye said. "There should be another stop sign."

Examining Her Footprint“The ‘control of Nature’ is a phrase conceived in arrogance...” These are the wise words of Rachel Carson, whose book “Silent Spring,” about the dangers of spraying DDT and other pesticides, changed the face of environmentalism as we know it. Her eloquent prose and compelling scientific studies convinced the public to forge a path to sustainability, albeit a winding one filled with potholes and roadblocks. By the end of her life Carson had contracted cancer, yet she bravely testified before President Kennedy’s Science Advisory Committee, defending the wildlife that couldn’t defend itself.
