Glendale police received several calls at 2:15 p.m. on Wednesday concerning a vehicle that struck the Welcome to Glendale sign in the center lane of Foothill Boulevard just east of Lowell Avenue. When GPD arrived they found that a Sunland man, 78, had been traveling in the number one lane when he entered the center median and struck the sign.

There was minor damage to the vehicle and the driver did not require medical treatment. The driver was charged with an unsafe lane change and the vehicle was towed from the location. This is the second recorded collision with the Welcome to Glendale sign located in the center of Foothill Boulevard near Lowell Avenue.
