Photos: Unusual Crash Along George Mason Drive

An unusual crash left an SUV with its front end up in the air, hanging from a wire.

The crash happened Sunday morning at the intersection of George Mason Drive and Route 50, near the Unitarian church. No serious injuries were reported.

More from a reader who saw the aftermath:

The power is out on parts of Glebe Road and Route 50/Arlington Blvd, including Dunkin’ Donuts and McDonalds. An SUV hit the anchor cables of an electrical pole at the corner of George Mason Drive and Arlington Blvd, and snapped it in half, causing drivers to pause as they pass.
