It was not a good morning commute if you were driving on Route 50 or riding Metro’s Orange or Silver lines over the last hour or so.
First, a crash on Route 50 at N. Fillmore Street around 8 a.m. left a vehicle on its side and one person trapped, before being extricated by firefighters. The eastbound lanes of Route 50 just reopened after an extended closure. Delays extends back several miles.
On Metro, a number of issues on the Orange and Silver line have produced big delays and crowded station.
Orange Line: Expect delays in both directions due to a signal problem outside West Falls Church.
