It's been two months since a taxi jumped the curb and drove through the ATM enclosure at the Wells Fargo bank at 1726 Haight St. Although no one was injured, the glass-and-metal vestibule was destroyed.
As we reported, a Flywheel taxi crashed through the barrier on a Wednesday morning—according to the Examiner, the driver thought he'd put the vehicle in park. We checked in with the bank to see if repairs were in order.
"We don't have any info yet on when it will be fixed," a Wells Fargo spokesperson said Wednesday, hastening to add that repairs are in fact planned at some point.
So while Haight Street bank customers will continue to do their ATM banking al fresco for the time being, it won't be forever.
For those keeping count, the taxi collision was the latest in a series of incidents involving the bank's Haight branch, which peaked five years ago.
Those incidents—which included graffiti and someone sailing a brick through the bank's plate glass storefront—preceded the bank's decision to relinquish its ATM adjacent to Decades of Fashion (now a Chase ATM).
