NEW: Here's why I-395N from before the Pentagon to DC is so slow this morning. A three-car crash on the express lane bridge that occurred just before 8:00 a.m. continues to block the right lane. #traffic #crash #Arlington
File this under, "This could have been a lot worse." No serious injuries reported when a car crossed into oncoming traffic, clipped another car, ran onto the sidewalk, and hit a person who tried to get out of the way. Noon hour at N. George Mason and Wilson. Video via safetyvid.org. #crash
Clarendon Tonight: They started early on the sidewalk in front of Don Tito, Spider Kelly's, and Clarendon Ballroom. Police were called by security for some young women fighting (video below 🔽🔽) and later, police called EMS for someone possibly unconscious. #Clarendon #police #crime #Arlington
Yes. Very sad. Thanks for sharing.
Watch this: A car overturned in this crash yesterday afternoon on Route 1 at Mt. Vernon Hwy. Three people with non-life-threatening injuries. Bystanders righted the vehicle before police, fire, and EMS arrived. Note that the red car kept rolling after the driver got out. Video via SafetyVid.org. \
Watch: This time it was a motorcyclist who appeared to be trying to get to I-395N Exit 10C from two lanes over. The biker was up and walking around with some of our military stopping to help with the bike. Left side is still blocked. Video from SafetyVid.org. @arlnow.bsky.social #crash #biker
Watch this: Another e-scooter crash. The scooter ran into the side of the white vehicle, but the rider bailed just before impact. This morning at S. Arlington Mill and Walter Reed. Injuries not reported as serious. Video from safetyvid.org. @arlnow.bsky.social #crash #Arlington #Virginia
How many recognized @jimmykimmel.com's opening line was a tribute to Jack Paar? "As I was saying before I was interrupted," was Paar's opener upon his return after walking off the Tonight Show for 7 weeks in 1960 when NBC censors cut a joke about a water closet (bathroom). youtu.be/c1tjh_ZO_tY?...

The attack at the Pentagon

Watch: A slow-motion rollover on I-395N this morning. Watch the red car. Somehow, it turned over in slow, stop-and-go traffic just before Exit 8A to Washington Blvd. The video from SafetyVid.org is at normal speed. #crash #traffic
Clarendon Tonight: Neither rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays the oversized children of Clarendon from having a fight. Despite the weather there was just a closing time battle in front of Don Tito. #Clarendon #Arlington #crime
(2) I'm not sure if at the end of the video the Pentagon brought it down with a laser, or it just broke free of the spider web on my window. You be the judge. BTW, no special effects, green screen, or AI. This is actually what one of my cameras captured today.
