   Councilman Marion Barry, the former mayor of D.C., was spotted   
   driving the wrong way down Pennsylvania Avenue before colliding   
   with another car, MyFoxDC reported.   
      
   According to a spokesperson, Barry had a hypoglycemic attack as   
   a result of his diabetes, and was taken to a local hospital.   
   The spokesperson said he did not black out before the accident.   
      
   Just after 11:30 p.m., Barry tweeted, "Just want to let everyone   
   know that I'm fine. I had a hypoglycemic attack (low sugar) &   
   had a minor fender bender. Everyone is ok. :)."  A short time   
   later, he tweeted, "Thank you everyone for the calls and well-   
   wishes. I thank God for his grace, @HowardU, @dcfireems, family   
   and friends. Much love, MB."   
      
   Barry struggled with addiction while serving as mayor and served   
   six months in prison after he was videotaped smoking crack   
   cocaine.   
      
   The accident was the second recent driving mishap for the Barry   
   family.   
      
   Marion Barry’s only son was arrested last week after he was   
   caught driving on a revoked license.   
      
   Christopher Barry, 34, has had several recent brushes with the   
   law, including an arrest in May near the White House for driving   
   under the influence of drugs. His license had already been   
   revoked, and he was ordered not to drive until further notice.   
      
   Court documents show he was caught driving again on Wednesday   
   and arrested. The documents show he was also in possession of   
   synthetic marijuana.   
      
   On Thursday, D.C. Superior Court Judge Karen Howze ordered   
   Christopher Barry jailed until a hearing on Aug. 7.
