(Updated at 5:45 p.m.) Expect heavy traffic on the southbound GW Parkway just after Spout Run due to a crash following a police pursuit.
Initial reports suggest that Virginia State Police troopers chased a fleeing suspect in a Dodge up the Spout Run Parkway and then back down onto the southbound lanes of the Parkway, when the suspect crashed.
Arlington medics were requested to the scene to evaluate possible minor injuries.
Numerous police cruisers were still on scene of the crash as of 5:30 p.m. The wreck appeared to involve the red Dodge, which ran up an embankment on the right ride of the Parkway, and a second non-police vehicle, which had its airbags deployed after crashing into the left-hand stone wall.
One center lane of traffic was squeezing by the police response. As of 5:45 p.m. Google Maps shows traffic on the Parkway backed up to Route 123 in McLean.
LOCATION: SB George Washington Pkwy/Spout Run WB
INCIDENT: Traffic Collision
IMPACT: Only the center lane is open SB George Washington Pkwy at Spout Run WB. Expect delays and seek an alternate route. pic.twitter.com/vbvXpb47Pg— Arlington Alert (@ArlingtonAlert) November 5, 2021
